New pathway to Henley MBA

Approved Open Polytechnic graduates will have entry into one of the world's leading MBA programmes under an agreement signed with Henley Management College, UK.

The agreement allows approved graduates from The Open Polytechnic's Graduate Diploma in Management to gain entry into the final year of the Henley MBA.

Henley (NZ) Director Pat Merrick says recognition by Henley is no small achievement. 'Henley is continually approached by educational institutions around the world seeking articulation for their programmes into our MBA. Very few are accepted.'

Henley's MBA has been ranked number two in the UK, number four in Europe and 17 in the world by the Economist Intelligence Unit's publication Which MBA, the bible of international MBA programmes.

Open Polytechnic Chief Executive Dr Paul Grimwood says Henley is an outstanding college for The Open Polytechnic to be recognised by.

'The agreement means graduates from The Open Polytechnic's Graduate Diploma in Management will have the option of continuing their studies with a highly prestigious institution and consequently receive a qualification that is recognised worldwide.'
