Today, we launch the QS Executive MBA Rankings 2022.
It’s the sixth edition of the EMBA ranking, featuring 220 programmes from business schools across the world. It is our largest and most internationally diverse ranking to date.
Taking the global top spot is IESE Business School, followed by HEC Paris and the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.
Nunzio Quacquarelli, CEO and Founder of QS Quacquarelli Symonds, said: “As globalisation increases, understanding perspectives, cultures and customs remains paramount in business and beyond. So too does the global professional networks that EMBAs cultivate. Therefore, the world’s leading programmes ensure that international diversity and quality intake is central to their offering, with IESE Business School foremost among them.”
