Cranfield School of Management’s Executive MBA (EMBA) has today been named the eighth best in the world for career progression by the Financial Times.
The results were compiled from a combination of statistics and information from recent graduates, comparing the roles and companies they were working in before and after they completed the EMBA.
Professor Daniel Prior, Director of Cranfield’s Executive MBA programme, said: “We place a strong emphasis on giving our students the tools to thrive in the workplace and these rankings are a testament to that. These rankings show not only the strength of our faculty’s teaching but the strength of our students, who use the knowledge they have gained from their EMBA to thrive in their careers.”
Cranfield School of Management, in partnership with Grant Thornton, was the first business school in the UK to offer the Executive MBA via the Apprenticeship Levy.
