Lancaster University: Lancaster’s MBA retains spot in top tier of CEO Magazine’s global MBA rankings

CEO Magazine’s global MBA rankings 2022 reveal Lancaster’s MBA remains in its top tier of business schools.

CEO Magazine has been showcasing top business schools from around the globe since it first launched in 2008. In 2012 the publication launched its annual Global MBA Rankings, profiling MBA, Executive MBA and Online MBA programmes. This year, CEO Magazine reached out to business schools across North America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and the BRICS, and ranked data from 180 schools, offering 347 different programmes in 27 countries (98 online, 92 EMBA and 157 full-time and part-time MBA programmes).

For its 2022 rankings, CEO Magazine took an aggregate of three years’ data from schools, taking into account the quality of the faculty, international diversity, class size, accreditation, faculty to student ratio, price, international exposure, work experience, professional development, gender parity, and delivery methods.

Dr Robyn Remke from Lancaster University Management School (LUMS) is Director of the MBA programme. She said: “It is fantastic to see that LUMS has retained its place in the top tier of these MBA rankings – as one of only ten UK business schools. This follows the news this week that our MBA programme is the biggest riser in the FT MBA global rankings, which positions Lancaster as top in the UK for student salary increases with a student’s salary rising by an impressive 112% after completing the programme.

“We are very proud of our MBA and are delighted to see the quality of our programme and alumni recognised in this way.”

The Financial Times MBA global rankings 2022 unveiled earlier this week revealed Lancaster’s MBA had climbed twenty places from last year, to be placed joint 76th in the world. It is currently ranked 8th in the UK, 21st in Europe and No.2 in the world for value for money.

LUMS’ MBA is also ranked 8th in the UK and 66th in the world by The Economist Which MBA? Full time MBA rankings 2021, which also positions LUMS 13th globally and first in the UK for the education experience delivered to its students.

Lancaster University is a highly ranked, global university that ranks amongst the top 15 in the three major UK league tables. Out of more than 120 UK universities, Lancaster is currently 11th in both the Complete University Guide 2022 and The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2022. It also ranks 13th in the Guardian University Guide 2022.
