The Judge Institute of Management, University of Cambridge has achieved excellent results in the latest MBA rankings issued by the Financial Times today ( 21 January 2001). It came fourth in Europe, 22nd in the world and second overall for all United Kingdom MBA programmes. The Cambridge MBA is the most highly rated one-year MBA programme in the UK.

The Judge Institute of Management was the highest new entry in the survey which ranks the top 100 international business schools out of a potential pool of 1,500 institutions worldwide.

The Cambridge business school's MBA programme only became eligible this year as participating schools have to have at least three cohorts of full-time MBA graduates. The Judge Institute of Management previously provided a combination of part-time MBA courses.

The Judge Institute of Management scored particularly well for the career progress of its MBA alumni - it was rated third highest in the world in this category. It also achieved excellent ratings for the size of its alumni'ssalaries and for the international breadth of its faculty and student body.

Director of the Cambridge MBA, Chong Choi commented on the Judge's success:

"This is an outstanding result. Our first objective was to be in the top two per cent of business schools in the world but to nearly break into the top 20 in our first assessment is a really fantastic achievement. It is a testament to the quality of our MBAs, who have followed in the footsteps of other Cambridge students to achieve great successes worldwide. We will continue to build on this and climb the rankings. The Judge Institute of Management has always been part of a world-leading university, now we are recognised as being a world-leading business school."

The Financial Times rankings follow the Judge Institute of Management's recent EQUIS accreditation by the European Foundation for Management Development and its leading rating in the latest Research Assessment Exercise.

The Judge's expertise in business and entrepreneurship is being used in three new postgraduate courses which will begin this Autumn. An initiative of the Cambridge-MIT Institute (CMI), the courses are aimed at the high-technology, science and engineering leaders of the future. The three one-year Masters programmes - in BioScience Enterprise, Technology Policy and Environmental Engineering and Sustainable Development - will combine technical education with business training.
