The QS Executive MBA Rankings 2023 have been released, revealing the top executive MBA programmes offered by business schools around the world. Now in its seventh edition, the ranking sees institutions in both Europe and North America dominate the top 10.
In our methodology, we explain how each metric is generated in the QS Executive MBA Rankings. You can filter the rankings table by indicator to see which schools have performed best for the metrics which matter most to you.
For example, INSEAD and London Business School both scored 99.9 out of 100 for 'employer reputation', while MIT (Sloan) achieved a perfect score of 100 for 'thought leadership'.
Outside of the top 10 which can be viewed below, there are some other institutions which have achieved perfect scores of 100 in at least one indicator, including NEOMA Business School (ranked 61st) for the metric 'executive profile', and Warwick Business School (17th) and Shanghai University of Finance and Economics (95th) for ‘career outcomes’.
This year features six new entrants – from North America and Europe (both with two new institutions) as well as Middle East and Africa and Asia-Pacific (each with one new institution).
