HEC Paris EMBA programme ranked 6th by Financial Times

HEC Paris has announced that the Financial Times has ranked its International Executive MBA (EMBA) #6 worldwide. It is the first time that the International EMBA programme is submitted for ranking. The HEC Paris International EMBA is composed of the English modular and Doha tracks. It is run in English, in a part-time format and offers the possibility of complete mobility between tracks. The Financial Times Executive MBA ranking is based on two sources. First, each school provides factual data about the programme, the faculty and the school in general (this accounts for 45% of the overall ranking). Feedback is then gathered from EMBA alumni who graduated three years earlier (this accounts for 55% of the overall ranking). Moreover, alumni who answered the survey have received, on average, a 68% salary increase three years after graduation and HEC Paris programme is #3 in the career progress ranking. HEC Paris has been ranked one of the world’s leading providers of Executive Education programmes for the past eight years by the Financial Times, and The TRIUM Global Executive MBA joint programme with NYU Stern and LSE, is ranked #2. Dr Nils Plambeck, dean and CEO of HEC Paris in Qatar, said: “This ranking is a recognition of the strength of our International Executive MBA programme. The programme is supported by worldclass faculty, offering an innovative curriculum and is backed by an outstanding alumni community. This ranking also reflects our commitment to deliver the best in-class management practices to current and future leaders and equip them with the skills to face the changing global market dynamics. As a member of Qatar Foundation, HEC Paris can bring world-class education to Qatar and thereby support the Qatar National Vision 2030”. The EMBA part-time programme also has a strong global element, with its modules available in different locations. It offers a special focus on strategy, leadership and the global business environment to ensure that participants gain comprehensive, innovative, and applicable knowledge and skills that they can adapt to their specific roles and which will benefit their organisations.
