The Aston MBA is an intensive programme designed for professionals who are ready to take their careers to the next level. It is a transformational MBA for managers who want to accelerate their thinking, career and potential.

The University’s Online MBA has also been ranked 49th globally and 18th in Europe for employability.

It is the latest global accolade for Aston Business School, which is part of an elite group of global business schools that hold the gold standard of ‘triple-crown’ accreditation from AACSB, AMBA and EQUIS, having seen success in the latest Eduniversal rankings, with two MBA programmes securing positions in the global or European top 25.

“It is the latest in a series of external accolades from QS Quacquarelli Symonds recognising our success, following the recent announcement in the 2024 QS World Rankings by Subject, which placed business and management studies in the top eight in the UK and 66th in the world.”

Notes to Editors

About Aston University

For over a century, Aston University’s enduring purpose has been to make our world a better place through education, research and innovation, by enabling our students to succeed in work and life, and by supporting our communities to thrive economically, socially and culturally.

Aston University’s history has been intertwined with the history of Birmingham, a remarkable city that once was the heartland of the Industrial Revolution and the manufacturing powerhouse of the world.

Born out of the First Industrial Revolution, Aston University has a proud and distinct heritage dating back to our formation as the School of Metallurgy in 1875, the first UK College of Technology in 1951, gaining university status by Royal Charter in 1966, and becoming The Guardian University of the Year in 2020.

Building on our outstanding past, we are now defining our place and role in the Fourth Industrial Revolution (and beyond) within a rapidly changing world.
