School Profile

We believe that we offer one of the best MBA learning experiences in the world. A bold statement, but one we believe we can justify.

We are educational pioneers – and the Strathclyde MBA, the first full time one year MBA programme in the UK - has been continually evolving, improving and striving to reflect current practice since 1966. We are one of only less than 1% business schools in the world to hold international accreditation from the 3 business education hallmarks of excellence – AMBA, AACSB and EQUIS. We consistently demonstrate excellence in the quality of our teaching, research and knowledge exchange, and our drive and motivation to continue to improve is boundless. The results of the most recent UK Research Assessment Exercise 2008 (RAE) affirmed our school as a leader for "world leading and internationally excellent" research, with SBS being rated top for research in Scotland – by a long way – and 7th equal in the UK. Meanwhile, the recently published Economist Ranking (October 2012) puts Strathclyde Business School at 8th in the UK, 16th in Europe and number 54 in the World.
