Tue, 17 Dec 2013Henley Business School has blamed a decision by the Association of Professional Staffing Companies (APSCo) to move its MBA programme in International Recruitment Management to Warwick Business School on a lack of interest from recruitment companies.
The three-year MBA course at Henley Business School for executives in the recruitment industry was launched in September 2011.
Ann Swain, the chief executive officer of APSCo, tells recruiter.co.uk that the decision to switch to Warwick Business School was made because it “is better suited to matching the needs of the international recruitment market”.
She adds: “Warwick has gained recognition as one of the best places in the world to study for an MBA.” In 2013 Warwick was 28th in Global MBA Report Rankings published by the Financial Times, up from 58th in 2010.
However, Richard McBain, head of post-experience postgraduate programmes at Henley Business School, part of the University of Reading, blames a lack of applicants from the recruitment industry.
McBain tells recruiter.co.uk: “Unfortunately, despite both APSCo and Henley Business School devoting large resources to developing and marketing an international recruitment MBA, this programme was never launched due to lack of applicants from recruitment organisations.
“We were luckily able to transfer the several applicants for this programme to our global MBA programme, which they are currently successfully completing.”
