CEO Magazine Ranks Trinity’s MBA in Global Tier 1 of MBAs

Posted on: 10 February 2016

The MBA programme at Trinity College Dublin has been awarded a Global Tier One ranking in the just-published CEO Magazine 2015-2016 MBA rankings.  The global rankings, which were released in London this week,  focus on the practicality and quality of the MBA journey for participants. Factors taken into consideration include the learning environment, class sizes, tuition fees, quality and make-up of faculty, delivery methods, international and gender diversity. The objective of the ranking is to identify schools which marry exceptional quality with a great return on investment. Trinity’s programme is the only Irish course to make into the tier one level of European MBAs.

CEO Magazine provides an innovative and fresh approach to evaluating MBA programmes around factors that are relevant to people looking at undertaking an MBA,” said Michael Flynn, Director of the Trinity MBA programme. “We are delighted with Trinity’s result in the CEO Magazine MBA rankings. The survey provides valuable insight into the character and content of an MBA programme allowing people to evaluate MBA offerings in a meaningful way where issues such as the quality of the programme and its ability to facilitate career change and advancement can be assessed.”

Professor Andrew Burke, Dean of Trinity Business School points out that this Global Tier 1 ranking by CEO Magazine comes “hot on the heels” of the Trinity MBA being ranked 5th in Europe by Eduniversal in December.  “Both rankings are very much industry focused and illustrate how highly our MBA is regarded by businesses. The Trinity MBA is one of the few MBAs in the world which adopt a major business projects learning approach which involve students working with firms on corporate strategy, SME high growth and social enterprise projects.  They do so to the exclusion of any other coursework for a period of six months on the programme.   So it is good that firms are recognising the unique value added that the Trinity MBA can generate for businesses and it being reflected in these rankings”.
