Cambridge Judge Business School and Henley Busines School

I wanted to reach out, and hear everyone's thoughts about which program is better either Henley EMBA or Cambridge Judge EMBA. I am a Director of IT for a biotech/ pharma company with 20 yrs of management experience.

Unless you are focused on a country where Henley has deeper roots (Finland,maybe?) Cambridge is so obviously the better choice that I am surprised you even ask.

Duncan,

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I appreciate your candidness and your succinct answer but can you expand on it? I realize the ranking the Judge has in comparison to Henley, but it seems as though Henley is moving up the list over the last few years. The cost of each EMBA is interesting as well. Henley's EMBA only costs less than $30k USD. It has been able to keep its accreditation, unlike Hult. Most rankings show Judge only being lower than Oxford and LBS but it also costs $80k USD.

I would really like to know your expanded thoughts on Judge? I would also be curious as to where your insight is coming from e.g. recruitment, etc., or is it just from reading the rankings from FT or Economist? I ask because I am genuinely interested in knowing how those schools are viewed in the non-academic world.

Here is the latest FT ranking:

Thanks,

It has been able to keep its accreditation, unlike Hult.

For clarity's sake, it's worth noting that Hult is accredited by AMBA. My guess is that they'll probably have triple accreditation once AACSB and EQUIS complete their post-Ashridge merger evaluation. As far as I know they've never *lost* accreditation status.

That's not to say their MBAs are comparable to the other schools. Just a note for clarification.

Razor,

You are correct. I was making a comment based on the rankings in FT reported by Poet and Quants article: http://poetsandquants.com/2016/02/20/hult-international-out-of-ft-ranking-again/

According to Hult's web page they are accredited by the following bodies:

Thank you for bringing up that point for clarity.
