Abstract | The purpose of this study is to explore the importance of UK business schools' brand reputation as a criterion of choice for postgraduate studies by Greek university students. The research was exploratory in nature and data was collected by carrying out semi-structured in-depth interviews with 27 students. Respondents identified the name as a major brand component, although the 'International recognition of the B-school', 'University's brand name', 'Survey rankings', 'Accreditation' and 'High graduation job and career prospects' were the most important elements of the B-schools' brand reputation. It seems that home university professors might also play role in the formation of the recommended foreign B-schools' brand reputation. This study offers empirical findings from university branding, where studies are limited, and partially confirms the findings and conclusions of earlier studies in the field. |
