Loughborough University is ranked 6th in Business Studies in 2014 The Guardian Complete University Guide but there is no ranking in its MBA course.

How is this school's MBA programme being rated and its reputation amongst employers? Someone said that It is a polytechnic level instead of university? However, there is a two year programme with internship for 9 months and a summer project in Europe.

What is the comment from all of you?

As it seems the University's overall reputation of Loughborough, Nottingham and Birmingham are quite good within UK, but the MBA course of Nottingham and Birmingham had been within 100 in FT or The Economist in previous years but not now, and Loughborough even has not been on the list.

How to choose between Loughborough, Nottingham, Birmingham and Hult?

Loughborough is much better than a former polytechnic; it's very strong at the undergraduate level, which is what that ranking is for, but for MBA it does not compete with the other schools you are looking at.

Thank you Duncan.
I just discovered that Loughborough has been accredited by AACSB and is now triple-accredited for their business school.
But none of the above are triple-accredited.

Well, how do you think if to choose between Birmingham and Nottingham, which one would be better?

I would choose Birmingham and Nottingham over Loughborough, despite the triple accreditation. Between the two... well it depends on what your goal is. They (and Aston, Edinburgh and Lancaster) are very close to each other now. I do feel that Birmingham and Edinburgh are on the way up...
