Economist ranks CBS Executive MBA among the top programmes in the world 

Economist released their 2015 Executive MBA rankings on 14 May, revealing that CBS Executive MBA is ranked among the top E-MBA programmes in the world. Programmes are ranked on two broad measures: personal development/educational experience and career development. 

 

“This is a real kudos to our programme and yet another acknowledgment of our unwavering commitment to quality,” states Jesper Rangvid, associate dean for the CBS E-MBA programme.”The competition from international business schools is extremely high and to be recognised as the only Scandinavian school to be included on the list and among the top programmes in the world, alongside well-known global business schools such as Yale and Columbia, is an achievement we are very proud of.”

 

CBS Executive MBA’s weighted 2015 rank is 60, but there are several sub categories to the overall rank which can be interesting to look at for individuals researching and comparing different programmes. CBS E-MBA ranked number one globally when it comes to faculty's academic degrees, meaning that out of all programmes in the list, CBS can demonstrate the greatest share of faculty holding PhD degrees. Another area where CBS performs very well is the quality of students enrolled – global rank in the student work experience sub-category is three. 

 

Lone Ryevad Boysen is in charge of admissions for the CBS Executive MBA:

 

“We go to great lengths in order to assemble a class with the right seniority, since we recognise that one of the most important ancillary benefits of the CBS E-MBA is to build a life-long network that can challenge, push and stretch every individual in the class. It is encouraging to see our efforts here being recognised, and to take away the knowledge that we are actually one of the leaders globally when it comes to student work experience.”
