- By CHARLOTTE KING cking@wokingham.today

HENLEY Business School course has been rated number one of its kind in the UK by the Financial Times.

It received the top score for student satisfacti­on for its flagship Global Executive Masters in Business Administra­tion (MBA) programme last month.

The newspaper asked alumni to rate the programme out of 10, and saw Henley Business School place number one in the country.

It also ranked number 11 in Europe and 31st across the world for the course.

Dr Anne Dibley, head of postexperi­ence postgradua­te programmes, said: “We are delighted to be rated number one in the UK for overall satisfacti­on.

“This is of paramount importance to us as we work hard to give our students an immersive programme that delivers the personal and profession­al growth that they seek.”

Henley Business School’s Global Executive MBA programme sees students work with internatio­nal charities and travel across the world to learn more about social issues.

“The inspiring, collaborat­ive work that takes place between our students and South African NGOs, tackling complex social issues, enables our students to see the world through a fresh lens,” Dr Dibley added.

“This helps create a deeply rewarding personal and profession­al developmen­t journey that makes our Global Executive MBA programme unique.”

The school was ranked in the UK’s top 10 business schools overall, and in the top 30 across Europe, in the newspaper’s report too.

It was also rated number one in the UK and number four in Europe and the world for the percentage of women in its full-time faculty.

It came in the top 20 worldwide for the percentage of internatio­nal students, at 71%, as well.

Last month, Henley Business School was also awarded for the proportion of courses dedicated to the environmen­t, social and governance issues, coming second in the country, 17th in Europe and 30th in the world.
