The league table ranks the top 100 Executive MBA programmes in the world. The ranking takes into account a combination of 16 metrics and is based on an alumni survey with various measures, including salary on graduation, career progression, how the Programme has lived up to expectations, and percentage salary increase three years after graduation.

"Since the launch of the Programme in 2009, we have been dedicated to leverage the unique strengths of three top-notch international institutions in Hong Kong, London, and New York, and create synergies for our students. While riding on our extensive alumni network, offering global exposure and diversified learning experiences to our students, we also introduced an alumni audit policy to enable our alumni to stay connected and competitive. Amidst the fast-changing global market environment fuelled by technological advancements, we believe embracing life-long learning is crucial to successful career and professional development."
