Top ten finish for London Business School’s EMBAs in FT rankings
Two of London Business School’s Executive MBA (EMBA) programmes have featured in the top ten of the Financial Times’ annual EMBA rankings, a feat which no other school has achieved.
In the year which saw the School’s EMBA Global with Columbia Business School celebrate its tenth anniversary, the programme finished third. The School’s EMBA, with streams in London and Dubai, was placed tenth.
Anne Sandford, Director of Executive MBA Global programmes, said: “We’re delighted to see that the EMBA Global programme continues to be ranked among the very best in the world. Its success is a tribute to the strength of our partnership with Columbia and the continued quality of the cohort and the teaching on the Programme.”
The rankings are based on various measures, some of which (including career progression, how the programme lived up to expectations, percentage salary increase) come from a poll of alumni three years after graduation. Ruth Martel, Director of Executive MBA, commented: “Competition at the top of the rankings is always extremely tight, with very little separating the individual programmes in the top ten, so this is an excellent achievement for the London and Dubai programmes.”
This year‘s highlights from the rankings were:
• fifth (EMBA) and sixth (EMBA Global) placing overall for aims achieved, a strong measure of how well the programme delivered against alumni expectations.
• high ranking for career progression – ninth (EMBA) and 13th (EMBA Global) overall in the table.
