Lancaster University Management School’s Masters in Management (MiM) course has been ranked within the top five in the UK.

The Financial Times ranks LUMS’ MiM course 5^th in the UK and 58^th globally, with former students recording an average 49 per cent increase in salary after completing the course, and 86 per cent of students saying they achieved their career aims.

Lancaster University Management School is ranked 16^th in the world for its career service, and 100 per cent of its former students remained employed three months after completing the course.

Dr Radka Newton, Director of the MiM course in LUMS, said: “We are delighted to see our MiM course move up the rankings again to be positioned firmly within the top five in the UK. What is particularly rewarding is seeing how it has served our former students – with significant pay increases and in achieving their career goals.”

Lancaster University Management School Dean, Professor Angus Laing, said: “These rankings cement our programme’s position within the UK and across the world – an achievement that is testament to LUMS’ exceptional teaching staff and the dedicated, ambitious students we attract onto the MiM course.

“A new element considered within this year’s rankings is overall satisfaction with the course and I am pleased to see our students scored our MiM programme 9.2 out of ten, the second highest ranking in the UK. This really is a fantastic achievement.”

Lancaster University Management School is quadruple accredited by the AACSB, EQUIS, the Association of MBAs (AMBA) and the Small Business Charter. The Masters in Management course is also accredited by the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) and the AMBA.
