Kellogg-HKUST EMBA Tops Inaugural QS Rankings

The Kellogg-HKUST Executive MBA (EMBA) Program is ranked the top in the world in the inaugural Global EMBA Rankings conducted by QS.

For the first time, QS has published both the “Global EMBA Rankings by Region” and the “Global Joint EMBA Rankings” that feature programs jointly delivered by two or more business schools across multiple locations or platforms. The Kellogg-HKUST EMBA is not only ranked the best joint EMBA program, but also the top performing program of the 120 programs rated worldwide.

The encouraging results are another best gift to mark the Program’s coming 20th anniversary, after it was named best once again in the world in the Financial Times Global EMBA Rankings last October.

 

MBA Running Among Top 15

The HKUST MBA has been ranked No.15 in the world by the Financial Times, marking the eighth consecutive year the Program has been rated among the top 15 globally.

The survey showed that when alumni salaries, course length and fees were compared among the top 100 global MBA programs, the HKUST MBA was No. 10 in the world and best in Asia for value for money.

Meanwhile, according to the QS Global 250 Business Schools Report 2017, the HKUST Business School is No. 2 in Asia Pacific for research excellence and No. 8 for graduate “employability”. These two criteria are the critical points of consideration for prospective MBA students.

The QS Report used responses from more than 12,000 MBA employers and 8,000 academics in the fields of business and management to identify the 250 institutions offering the world’s best full-time MBA programs.

 

First in Asia to be “School of the Year”

The HKUST Business School was named “School of the Year 2016” by the Global Alliance of Management Education (CEMS), becoming the first Asian school to achieve this honor. The elective course “Global Macroeconomics”, taught by Professor Milind Rao, was also named one of three “CEMS Courses of the Year”.

Dean Tam Kar Yan said the recognition, awarded last December, reflected HKUST´s international standing and the value of its courses. “We believe a strong global alliance of academic and corporate partners like CEMS enables our students to benefit from real-world business exposure and prepare for an international career.”

CEMS is a global alliance of 80-plus industry-leading multinational corporations, seven NGOs and 11,000 alumni that collaborates with 30 of the world´s top business schools to offer the renowned CEMS Master’s in International Management. Over 1,200 CEMS program students selected the CEMS School of the Year 2016 and other accolades.
