Review Title:
An emerging superpower
Full Review of the Program:
At the moment, the Warwick MBA sits in the group below the sexy brands of Europe: INSEAD; LBS; IMD and IESE. This is due to brand, not competence and is changing as more WBS graduates are in senior positions around the world.
WBS has the advantage of costing less that the sexy brands but offering the same quality of cutting edge learning and world class research.
The Achillies heal was career placement and has recently been overcome by hiring the former head from LBS.
Advice to Prospective Students:
Get in while you can as WBS is only going to get better! There are a huge choice of electives that continues to grow and the distance learning option is increasing embracing web 2.0 and multimedia learning.
On a personal level WBS taught me the skills I needed to quit my job an launch a tech startup without venture finance.
