Executive MBA success in new global ranking

23 July 2013

Nottingham University Business School’s Executive MBA Programme has placed 40th worldwide and 6th in the UK in the inaugural Economist 2013 Global Executive MBA Ranking,

It is the first time Nottingham has entered an executive MBA ranking and the school placed ahead of many other prominent international business schools including Ashridge, Henley, and the National University of Singapore.

The Economist rankings are based on broad measures of personal development, educational experience, and career progress compiled from quantitative and qualitative data collected by The Economist from participating schools and surveys of current students and alumni from the schools’ last three graduating classes.

Professor Martin Binks, Dean of Nottingham University Business School said: “The ranking confirms that we have a quality executive MBA programme that attracts high calibre students and provides a learning experience supporting personal development and career progression.

“The Nottingham Executive MBA is flexible and focuses on developing students' leadership and creative capabilities. Study is structured so that learning applies to students’ own businesses and they develop a global perspective by taking advantage of the unique international opportunities we offer to study part of their programme on our MBAs in Malaysia and Singapore. Our executive programme also offers specialist variants in Entrepreneurship, Corporate Social Responsibility, and Healthcare.”

Nottingham's Executive MBA is designed for senior professionals and is structured so that students can fit the programme around their work and other commitments. The programme aims to build personal, team, and organisational leadership skills as well as the challenge of developing sustainable organisations.
