Henley Business School, Greenlands Campus

True MBA Holistic Experience

A very special place. Thought provoking, reflective and forward looking.

I went some years back to the Extended Management Course, about 3 months, with the predecessor Henley Management College .
At the time Shell used it regularly and i worked for Shell.
It was a great experience, had VG staff and even better visiting professors and eminences.
The physical sites, the grounds and the ambiance were very civilised and refined... Good experience!

It will be clear to anyone that has attended Henley Business School in recent years that they have a high volume model of accepting anyone. This has diluted the standard of teaching and content to a low level in order appeal to the weakest students. Besides the academic background of the students Henley Business School induct, the level of English ability from international students which make up around 90% of classes is poor. This causes problems in group work which will be organised by lecturers.

In terms of lecturers some are bad some are good. But all refresh basic content and do not dive into any great depth. 70% of my lecturers are internationals many of which do not have great English themselves.

Avoid. Especially masters.

Absolutely the most disreputable bunch of lying ilk I have ever seen...completely took advantage of me as an out of country student (sucker). Made promises, lied about them until I came overseas then lied again to get me past the contract cancel period. If this was the USA I could have jailed the liars. But in the UK, well it just fine to lie, lie lie to foreigners and take their money. Do yourself a favour, go to school in the USA. Stealing edu-business stealing is all it is. Oh and guess what? The campus is not Henley on Thames, it's University of Reading in Reading UK!

Bullying and racism are rife here. The quality of teaching is sub-standard and assessment political.
The location is beautiful.
