Ashridge's next Full Time MBA programme starts at the end of January 2012 and I heard that they still have some places left. Scholarships are also still available for self-funded students to apply for.

As an Ashridge alum, I can speak for the great learning environment they have to offer. It is certainly not a school for most people, but for a course that emphasises leadership, integration, soft skills and people management it is certainly unique now that Henley has closed its full-time executive MBA, which is also aimed at students in their 30s.

If you know anyone interested in applying for an MBA please ask them to send enquiries to [email protected] or visit the website at http://bit.ly/AshFTMBA

Interesting, here is some scholarship information from their website. Seems like they offer scholarships for the following categories:

Women in Leadership
Emerging Markets
Responsible Leadership
Public Sector
Not-for-profit Sector
Armed Forces Leavers
Post Redundancy / Return-to-work

These fund a lot of people that many MBA scholarships don't cover. I'd think that the "post redundancy" category would be good for many of the group you mentioned: students in their 30s.

It's not clear how much these scholarships offer, but, usually something is better than nothing.

Looking at the FT rankings: http://rankings.ft.com/businessschoolrankings/ashridge It's interesting to see that in the recession Ashridge is recruiting more women and international students, and I think that reflects the reduced availability of corporate funding for MBAs.

Ashridge really has a very strong management development approach, reflecting its roots in executive education: http://www.ashridge.com/Website/Content.nsf/wCOR/Ashridge+in+the+rankings?opendocument That means their MBA is build around project work rather than lectures.
