Hull MBA earns global recognition in QS Rankings

The University now joins a distinguished group of just 126 programmes from 27 locations worldwide, debuting at 75 overall and standing out above the global average for employability - a measure based on direct employer feedback.

HUBS online MBA programme offers an accessible virtual learning environment, combining latest research with real-world business skills in areas like digital transformation, sustainability, and people development.

Welcoming the ranking, Professor Robert Dover, Dean of Hull University Business School said: “Our world-class MBA programme has been designed to shape, inspire and equip a new generation of leaders in a rapidly changing world.

“We’re extremely proud to join such a prestigious list. This further cements our reputation as one of the top international business schools and reflects the hard work and commitment of our staff in delivering high-quality teaching.”

This recognition builds on a series of recent successes for HUBS. Just weeks ago, the Business School once again secured AMBA accreditation - a mark of quality reserved for only the top two per cent of business schools worldwide.

HUBS is also expanding its global presence, with Ministry of Education approval for the Hull Institute at Chongqing Technology and Business University (CTBU). This landmark partnership will see the University delivering undergraduate and postgraduate business programmes in China from 2026, further strengthening our international reputation and impact.

Now in its 26th year, HUBS is among fewer than two per cent of the world's best business schools that hold accreditations from both the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) and the Association of MBAs (AMBA).

Together, these achievements highlight HUBS’s growing reputation - building global partnerships, earning international recognition, and continuing to deliver outstanding education that prepares future leaders to make an impact.
