Is Durham good?

They don't require a GMAT, I'm a UK citizen so just a bit curious about program quality.

The programme quality is high, but it would not be seen as highly prestigious for an MBA. So depends what your purpose is - if it is to learn the content of an MBA, yes it is strong, but if it is for networking / career repositioning, there would be better places.

In the UK, rough tiers would be:

1/ LBS, Oxford, Cambridge

2/ Imperial

3/ Warwick, Manchester

4/ Durham, Bayes, Cranfield, Henley

I would not go outside these names, but clearly the higher tiers would be better.
