Ashridge Business School

Ashridge combines the best of a business school with an innovative organisational consultancy. We work with thousands of executives from our many clients across the globe each year. The school is set in a country estate surrounded by National Trust woodland, only 30 minutes from London.Ashridge offers two MBA programmes: a one-year Full Time MBA and a two year executive MBA. Both take an integrated view of business, rather than teaching functional subjects in isolation, and provide thorough grounding in all the disciplines required to lead a business.We go beyond theory by giving participants the opportunity to put their learning into practice via a 'live' consulting project. Participants work with a client organisation to deliver a major strategic consulting assignment. Class sizes are small and personal, which optimises individual attention and an interactive learning style.
