UQ Business School's MBA has been rated in the top tier by Australia's most influential ranking survey.
The Australian Financial Review's Boss magazine has been ranking MBAs since 2002. The top tier this year includes Melbourne Business School and AGSM as well as Monash and QUT.
Head of School Professor Tim Brailsford said he was very pleased with the result.
He said, "Boss magazine has worked hard to improve the rigour and transparency of the ranking process this year and I commend them for their efforts."
"With 95 per cent of our staff - including part-time staff - holding PhDs and around 80 per cent having business experience students are assured of a high-quality, intellectually rigorous, professionally-oriented MBA."
"Boss has indicated the survey will also assess research next year. We believe the research-teaching-consulting loop that operates in top business schools is critical to a vibrant MBA program."
UQ Business School's MBA also earned a five star ranking from the Graduate Management Association of Australia earlier this year while the university as a whole was ranked fifth in the nation in terms of quality teaching.
