The 2013 Financial Times Executive MBA ranking includes the top 100 programmes for working senior executives. As in previous years, cross-continental joint programmes dominate.

The ranking is based on surveys of business schools and their alumni who graduated in 2010. The latest edition takes a snapshot of the alumni’s current situation compared with when they started the programme.

The joint programme run by Kellogg School of Management near Chicago and Hong Kong University of Science and Technology comes top for the fifth consecutive year. The programme is first for the average salary of its graduates three years after graduation and in the top 10 for career progress, work experience and aims achieved. It also has one of the most international intakes.
