The Financial Times has placed the Durham MBA as 78th in the world in its Global MBA Ranking 2024. This is an outstanding achievement in a competitive marketplace with over 2,000 MBA programmes offered world-wide. The Durham MBA has consistently featured in the global top 100 for the last 11 years.
The well-established and highly regarded Financial Times Rankings consider submissions from all business schools with either the AACSB or EQUIS international accreditation and an MBA programme running for at least three years.
