Books on MBA admissions from UK perspective

by Gotama » Fri Feb 03, 2012 3:34 am
I am interested in applying to Oxbridge and a couple of other UK MBA programs.

The books I have seen on MBA admissions all seem to be US focused. Does anyone know of any books that cover Judge, Said and other UK universities? I'm sure many of the US based tips would be useful, but there is considerable cultural differences that I need to take into account. I also want to make sure that I tailor my application to the university, and need to do as much research on them as possible.

I had the same problem. The UK doesn't really print books or talk about MBA admissions nearly as much as U.S. programs do. The Economist used to publish a book called Which MBA? Each year, but it looks like they stopped publishing the book and they just update their MBA programs on their website now. That's where ive found the best info on UK schools since The Economist is UK based. The second is the Financial Times MBA rankings, which tends to be a little biased for UK schools too.

I don't know of any resources that ONLY focuses on the UK (UK people, help us out!)
But there is a very good book on European programs:
