According to QS 2011-12 Jobs and Salary Report, UK is at 6th place for the top 10 countries with MBA demand. It is behind India, US, Mexico, China and Argentina. This is a considerable improvement in growth compared to 2010-11. Although there has been a 36% increase in demand for MBA in 2011-12 compared to 2010, the MBA demand growth in UK has been primarily influenced by the service sector.
77.1% of UK’s GDP is contributed by services sector, predominantly by banking, insurance, and business services. But the surge in demand for MBA jobs was contributed by the booming consulting sector. Most recruiters look into top Business Schools in UK. The Economist MBA Ranking differentiates itself from other ranking publication by comparing one-year with two-year MBA programs. It allows candidates to make an informed decision about the quality of the MBA program in general before choosing programs based on duration.
The first column is the relative rank of UK MBA programs compared to Full-time MBA Programs globally.
