RGU MBA program ranked top 50 in global survey

Robert Gordon University’s Aberdeen Business School (ABS) has been ranked in the global top 50 for its MBA programs in the highly acclaimed ‘Beyond Grey Pinstripes’ survey, recently published by The Aspen Institutes Centre for Business Education.

RGU was rated as Scotland’s highest placed school, at 50, and was one of only five UK universities to be ranked in the top 100 MBA programs. ABS was in good company sharing the honour with top American universities including Stanford Graduate School of Business and Yale School of Management who were placed first and fifth respectively, as well as Madrid’s IE Business School, rated top European university in third position.

The ranking is the result of over 18 months of rigorous research into MBA programs covering 12,000 courses and faculty research abstracts from universities around the world, evaluating how well they incorporate social, environmental and ethical issues into their programs and ultimately how effective they are in preparing students to meet the business challenges they face upon graduating.

Allan Scott, Director of MBA Programmes at RGU’s Aberdeen Business School says, “Being highly ranked is testimony to the quality of the MBA programs RGU delivers. The graduates that we produce are ethical, environmentally astute and good corporate citizens. These are the type of individuals that are going to lead the way in industries such as construction and oil and gas; improving sustainability, cost efficiency and social responsibility.”

The Beyond Grey Pinstripes survey is an independent, biennial business research survey of business schools that spotlights and ranks innovative full-time MBA programs which have lead the way and integrated issues concerning social and environmental stewardship into their curriculum.
