Tanaka jumps up 23 places in the Financial Times MBA survey!
Tanaka Business School at Imperial College London has taken a dramatic leap up the Financial Times' MBA rankings published on Monday 24 January.
Tanaka jumped from 75 in 2004 to 53 in the rankings for full time MBAs, a move which has resulted from improvements in a number of different rankings criteria, including coming 4th in Europe for its research excellence; 5th in the world for entrepreneurship; and 6th in Europe for salaries, giving Tanaka 14th place in Europe overall.

EVENTS
'Successful Entrepreneurship'
A lecture by Caroline Plumb
Caroline Plumb, Managing Director and co-founder of the research and recruitment company Freshminds (www.freshminds.co.uk ) is coming to the School to discuss how the 'rules' of successful entrepreneurship have changed over the last 50 years.
Are there certain qualities, ideas and competencies that are essentially timeless to success, or is all success in entrepreneurship based solely on an awareness of the environment at that particular time?

MBA Fairs and Information Sessions
We have many MBA Fairs and Information Sessions coming up over the next few months, at the School, in London and throughout Europe and we would like to invite you to attend. These events are extremely important to the School as a way of recruiting new students and they like nothing better than hearing from alumni that have finished the courses and gone on to bigger and better things! It also gives you a chance to catch up with some fellow alumni and staff at the School.
