We’re proud to announce that Henley Business School’s Henley Executive MBA was ranked #21 in The Economist’s Which MBA? 2020 Executive MBA ranking.
The world ranking of Executive MBAprogrammes from the Economist shows the value and quality of our Executive MBA-programme, positioning our rogramme no.21 in the World, no.10 in Europe and no.1 in Denmark/Scandinavia, and highlighting strengths in a number of other areas including diversity, student quality, course content, careers, alumni network and salary increase.
Today’s MBA ranking follows our recent success in both the FT Global Masters in Finance ranking and the FT Executive Education ranking, with Henley securing a top ranking for all three programmes.
The Economist Executive MBA ranking broadly measures two areas, personal development/educational experience and career development, and is an important guide for helping prospective MBA students in assessing and selecting the right educational provider for their future study.
In a competitive job market, it is vital that our MBA programme members are provided with an experience that helps with their chosen career path. Personal and professional development is a key area of focus on our global programme. We were one of the first pioneers to embed personal development in our Executive MBA. 50 years later it remains a cornerstone of our programme to this day. This is reflected in our position of no. 1 in Denmark/Scandinavia and no.9 in Europe for overall personal development and educational experience.
As well as being taught by our UK-based expert academics and practitioners, students can feel assured that they will also learn from, and alongside, a strong and varied cohort of experienced executive peers, with our programme ranked in the UK top five for student quality criteria:
As a business school that champions women in leadership, we are also proud to see that we are no.1 in Scandinavia for gender balance of students in the cohort. Additionally we are no.1 in the World for the gender balance of our faculty.
Exposure and connections across the globe and a variety of industries are an important part of any education and our strength in this area is noted in our World top 20 ranking for networking. We have campuses and offices around the world and 80,000 alumni from 160 countries and the strength of this network provides programme members with a strong resource to help build their future as successful business leaders.
The quality of programme content and careers service is evident from our World top 20 position for programme content, and overall careers development results:
