If you want to work in UK, consider Oxford a top 3.

EU/middle east/Asia/Australia, consider it a T15.

For US, consider oxford a T25 but you’re going to struggle against regional US schools in the area.

Oxford is a very strong MBA program in Europe. It is great for people seeking a shorter program without an internship component unlike most US full-time programs. Like most European programs, the average YOE/age tends slightly older than that for US programs. For people in Europe/ in US unfamiliar with MBA rankings/ globally, the Oxford brand well recognized.

The top 25 us mba programs are not monolithic. There is somewhat set tiering regardless ranking (generally accepted T3, M7, T10, T15, T25) with differences in prestige/network. The MBA was sort of an American invention. I feel like Oxford would fall in T15.

Hi, we're searching for a job in HR for my wife. She's an MBA from India and has 10 years of work experiences across various HR roles in FMCG and Tech. Her last role was a HR BP and India site lead for a US based semiconductor major.
Is CIPD necessary to get a comparable role in the UK? While we undersrand it's a new market, would she necessarily need to start from a basic role again? It's difficult to balance studies, work and manage a 2 y.o. Any pointers or job openings would be appreciated.

Been in a relationship for a few years...but this can't be what love feels like. Most days I just feel incapable of romantic love altogether.

Has anyone ever felt the same? I don't know if it's a character flaw or just psychological or something else 🤷‍♂️ Feels isolating to not experience part of being human
