NBS already sits in the world’s top 1% of business schools, holding triple crown accreditation from EQUIS, AACSB and AMBA, international marks of excellence in business education.
It is the second year in a row that NBS has been ranked in the FT table, featuring as one of only 10 UK business schools to be listed.
The open-enrolment ranking uses data submitted by the course provider alongside feedback from learners who have completed management programmes at the institution. It measures eight criteria including course design, teaching methods and materials, faculty, and overall satisfaction.
NBS received a top 50 place for both the quality of the partner schools it collaborates with (45th) and its faculty diversity (26th) according to citizenship and gender.
Individuals looking to succeed in their professional career can access a range of executive education courses at NBS, benefiting from its extensive connections to business and professional bodies, and a focus on personalised and experiential learning.
Its new Global Executive MBA is due to launch this September, which combines distance learning with on-campus residentials in three countries, covering everything from strategic and data-driven decision-making to governance and change-management methodologies.
Executive Dean of Nottingham Business School, Professor Baback Yazdani, said: “This ranking further reflects our dedication to providing outstanding leadership education which gives individuals and businesses the confidence and credentials to thrive in their markets.”
