The three British institutes in the top 10 are Warwick Business School (1), Durham University Business School (6) and the University of Bradford School of Management (10).

For our annual ranking of the best schools for online MBA programs, we looked at 129 perennially top-rated institutes that offer online MBA programs and evaluated them based on the most recent data available on 7 indicators: admissions eligibility, job placement rate, faculty training and credentials, technological infrastructure, specialization, recruiter feedback, and global reputation (determined through our annual reader survey). We considered global reputation and career outcomes as the most telling factors of a school’s worth, and these two categories were weighted more heavily than the other five.
