In the latest ranking of Masters in Management programmes published by the Financial Times (17 September 2007), Lancaster’s MSc in Management has leapt eight places up the table, and is now ranked 18th in Europe and 4th in the UK.
The FT surveyed European Masters programmes in general management mainly designed for new graduates with little or no previous work experience. 40 business schools are included in the FT 2007 ranking.
The FT also ranks Lancaster’s MSc in Management 3rd in the UK for both ‘careers success’ and ‘aims achieved’, and 4th in the UK for ‘value for money’ and ‘international mobility’. The ranking shows that the Lancaster MSc is the top Masters in Management programme in the north of England.
In the subject tables, the Lancaster MSc is ranked 4th best for general management, 5th for entrepreneurship, 7th for economics and 10th for finance.
“The latest ranking shows that LUMS is now consistently ranked among the UK’s top five business schools. The FT ranking demonstrates the high quality of the MSc in Management, which stems from its excellent design, the high-quality teaching - delivered by international faculty - and the superb quality of student support.”
Dr Caroline Elliott, Director of the MSc in Management
Lancaster’s MSc in Management is a 12-month full-time programme in general management. It is designed for new or recent graduates who have not previously studied management and business, and is ideal for students who lack the depth of work experience necessary for admission to an MBA programme.
A key feature of the MSc is the three-month project which takes place over the summer. Many students undertake company projects during this period, which provides them with first-hand insights into organisational issues. Students interested in increasing their international exposure can opt to take part in an international exchange programme at one of Lancaster’s European partner institutions.
The programme is highly international, with participants from over 20 different countries.
With superb new facilities for postgraduate teaching, its top 6-star ranking for the research expertise of its faculty, and a campus that provides the ideal study environment, LUMS stands out as one of the UK’s best options for postgraduate study in business and management.
