Ashridge is one of the world's most stunning campuses. A former 13th century monastery and royal residence, the School is set in a country estate surrounded by National Trust woodland, only 40 minutes north of London.

As a provider of Executive Education, Ashridge is consistently ranked as one of the worldÂ’s leading business schools. Our EMBA programme is ranked in the top 5 in the UK, top 10 in Europe and top 25 worldwide. (Financial Times, November 2004). Ashridge is one of a handful of schools worldwide to achieve triple accreditation from AMBA, EQUIS and AACSB - the UK, European and American accreditation bodies for MBA programmes.

Ashridge runs three MBA programmes; a one-year full-time MBA, which starts in January; a two-year EMBA programme which starts in September and a European Partnership EMBA programme for employees from Merck, Bosch, Lufthansa and Deutsche Bank.

Our ground-breaking full-time MBA has been recently redesigned to provide an integrated approach to learning. The programme is centred around five key themes of the global business environment, managing the organisational life cycle, creating value, business in society and leading change. The themes are underpinned by a mastery of the three fundamentals of people, performance and processes.

All our MBA programmes go beyond theory by giving participants the opportunity to put into practice all they have learned via a 'live' consulting project. Participants work with a client organisation to deliver a major strategic consulting assignment. The Ashridge MBA includes an international study week, which is designed to consolidate learning by giving participants direct experience of the complex issues faced by businesses in an emerging market.

Class sizes are small, which means participants benefit from individual attention and an interactive learning style. Ashridge MBA students have rich professional backgrounds, which makes it one of the most experienced participant cohorts in the business school world. The majority of AshridgeÂ’s faculty have extensive international management experience enabling them to work closely with MBA participants on both the theory and practice of business.

Ashridge MBA participants have access to the Learning Resource Centre (LRC) 24 hours a day. Within the LRC there is a range of excellent computer and video facilities and a language laboratory. The Virtual Learning Resource Centre (VLRC) allows remote access to many of the learning materials, such as learning guides, book reviews, links to relevant business and management websites and access to several online information sources.

Outside of the classroom, MBA participants can make use of the well equipped Lifestyle Centre, which boasts a fully equipped gym, heated indoor swimming pool, jacuzzi, steam room and squash courts. In the Ashridge grounds, there are tennis courts, cricket and football pitches, a nine hole pitch and putt course and croquet on the lawn. For meals and refreshments, Ashridge has a sociable bar and award wining dinning facilities.
