World-class MBA in Dusseldorf

The Economist, our favourite magazine, has produced a worlwide ranking of Executive MBA programmes - and the Kellogg-WHU program comes seventh.

This is nice for a couple of reasons.

The WHU's good position gives some international credibility to at least one German business school, finally. (I had long held the WHU in high regard, but always assumed, maybe wrongly, that it would not be a match for the top international schools. Perhaps this is changing now).

Second, a substantial part of the German arm of the course takes place in Dusseldorf, on the newly acquired Schwanenhöfe Campus of the WHU. The Schwanenhöfe is a former industrial area, now redeveloped with a strong cluster focus on high-value services, education and innovation. It is located in the hip Flingern district, home to many nice cafes, bars and galleries.
