Ashridge combines the best of a business school with an innovative organisational consultancy. We work with thousands of executives from our many clients across the globe each year. The school is set in a country estate surrounded by National Trust woodland, only 30 minutes from London.
Our MBA is ranked 5th in the UK and 19th worldwide, achieving the number one spot for Salary Increase for the third year running (The Economist, September 2007). We are one of a small percentage of schools worldwide to achieve triple accreditation from AMBA, EQUIS and AACSB - the UK, European and American accreditation bodies for MBA programmes.
Ashridge offers two MBA programmes: a one-year Full Time MBA, which starts in January and a two-year Executive MBA, which begins in September. Both take an integrated view of business, rather than teaching functional subjects in isolation, and provide thorough grounding in all the disciplines required to lead in business. 
We go beyond theory by giving participants the opportunity to put their learning into practice via a 'live' consulting project. Participants work with a client organisation to deliver a major strategic consulting assignment. The international study week is designed to consolidate learning by giving participants direct experience of the complex issues faced by businesses in an emerging market.
Class sizes are small (maximum 30 people), which optimises individual attention and an interactive learning style. Ashridge MBA students have rich, global professional backgrounds, which makes it one of the most experienced and diverse cohorts in the world. Our faculty comprise business professionals, consultants and researchers who bring in-depth industry experience and latest management thinking to the learning process.
MBA participants have 24-hour access to the Learning Resource Centre and Virtual Learning Resource Centre, which provides physical and remote access to a vast range of learning materials and several leading online databases.
Outside the classroom, MBA participants can use the Lifestyle Centre, which houses a fully equipped gym, swimming pool, jacuzzi, steam room and squash courts. In the Ashridge grounds, there are tennis courts, cricket and football pitches, and a golf course. For meals and refreshments, Ashridge has a sociable bar and award-winning dining facilities. |
