Warwick Business School
United Kingdom

Warwick Business School (WBS) isn’t just a world-class business school at the heart of a world-class university; it’s a hub of curiosity that is constantly challenging the status quo and championing business as a power for good.
With a healthy balance between theory and practice, we truly transform people by developing them both professionally and personally. We’re for the people excited by everything around them, driven to learn, question, debate and have real impact.
In 2014 we opened WBS London at The Shard in central London, bringing WBS’s cutting edge thinking, research and networks to executives from organisations around the world who want to study in London.
The Warwick MBA, available in full-time, part-time and distance learning formats, is a truly transformational experience, designed for Change Makers who want to make an immediate impact in business. We will provide you with the knowledge, skills, contacts and confidence to start your own business, fast track to the C-suite, or transform yourself and your career.
Our 12 month Full-time MBA is ranked 18th in the world and 1st in the UK (Economist/WhichMBA? 2018 global ranking of full-time MBAs). With international exposure, unlimited career coaching, access to leading companies and a diverse peer group, wherever your path may take you, you’ll have everything you need to take you to the next level of your career.
Our part-time Executive MBA is available from both our Warwick campus and our London base at The Shard. We will connect you with a diverse network of participants, industry experts, career specialists and alumni while transforming you into a creative leader with a truly global outlook.
Our part-time Distance Learning MBA is ranked number 1 in the world for the second year running (Financial Times Online MBA Ranking 2019) and allows you to study online from anywhere in the world, while immediately putting what you learn into practice. The programme includes two residential weeks in the first year either on campus in Warwick or at The Shard, depending on which programme format you select.
