Cranfield MBA Ranks Best in World for Economics
When it comes to economics, the Cranfield School of Management’s MBA program is ranked first in the world, according to the new Financial Times 2017 full-time Global MBA ranking. The Cranfield MBA rankings were based on the views of Cranfield’s alumni, which Professor Joe Nellis said made it even more valuable. “The fact that this section of the ranking is based on the views of our alumni makes it even more significant,” he commented in a press release.
Part of the reason for Cranfield’s outstanding economics ranking is the School’s Economics group, which has been around since 1994 and is considered a foundation of the MBA program. Professor Nellis, who heads the group, said, “We live in a truly global world and at Cranfield we have always prided ourselves in making sure that we give our students the best possible education when it comes to understanding the global economy. We are privileged to have some exceptional faculty from around the world who really bring the issues to life for our students.”
Overall, the Cranfield MBA ranking jumped four spots this year to reach 53rd place. As for other areas where the school performed well, those include “value for the money” where the School ranked 9th and “career progress rank” where the school placed 36th overall.
In regards to Cranfield’s placement, the Pro-Vice-Chancellor and Director of the School, Professor Maury Peirperl commented, “Cranfield is one of the pioneers of MBA programmes in Europe and it is through our unique approach to management education and personal development that we remain highly ranked in the major league tables.”
Cranfield has always been considered a world leader in management education. It’s also one of the few school’s worldwide to hold the triple accreditation of AACSB International, EQUIS and AMBA. This year, the School is celebrating its 50th anniversary of success.
