2010 full-time MBA ranking
The University of Chicago takes top spot as American schools are back in the ascendancy in our ranking of full-time MBA programmes More »
In what seems to be becoming a trend among business schools, future MBAs at the University of California, Berkeley are being given two free days on one of the school’s executive education programmes. The offer will be open for five years after their graduation. The news comes after the Wharton School announced a similar scheme in December, allowing its MBAs to take a free executive education class every seven years.
MIT’s Sloan School of Management is to enter into an alliance with Turkey’s Sabanci University. The five-year tie up will see the two schools exchange faculty and students. MIT has been scouring the world in recent years to find partner institutions, including the Indian School of Business and Moscow School of Management SKOLKOVO.
INSEAD has become the latest business school to put material on iTunes U, Apple's dedicated education podcast channel. The school says it will upload interviews with faculty, research, conferences and lectures for general consumption. INSEAD joins other leading institutions, including Columbia, Wharton and Spain’s IE Business School on offering business content on iTunes.
