Nottingham Executive MBA graduates are flying high in global rankings
A new ranking to show the world’s top Executive MBA courses has included Nottingham University Business School for the first time.
It also shows the majority of the school’s MBA graduates are women, bucking the trend of male dominated courses.
In the QS (Quacquarelli Symonds) league table for 2018 the NUBS scored particularly highly against the measure of Career Outcomes. This showed average salary increases and promotion rate after graduation. Nottingham’s EMBA showed an average salary increase of 60%, far above the global average of 45%.
While in gender and cultural diversity 60% of Nottingham’s Executive MBA students are women – considerably higher than the global average of 29.9%.
This year, QS evaluated 150 business schools in 30 countries and 119 global EMBA programmes are included in the final ranking. Nottingham earned a rank of 89 globally and 39 in Europe.
Key questions Executive MBAs ask
The QS EMBA Rankings 2018 are compiled using five metric groups, each designed to provide quantitative data regarding key questions aspiring EMBA candidates seek answers to.
The groups are:
Employer Reputation (30%): do employers regard graduates from this prospective program highly?
Thought Leadership (25%): does this school have the capacity to innovate, and to encourage innovation?
Executive Profile (15%): the quality of my EMBA peers matters to me – how experienced is the class and how much c-suite representation is in the programme?
Career Outcomes (20%): is this programme likely to support my career in terms of salary increase and promotions after graduation?
Diversity (10%): am I likely to be exposed to a wide range of perspectives? Does this programme offer high levels of gender and international diversity?
