NUS MBA placed 31st worldwide

NUS' MBA programme climbed up one notch to 31st place in the FT Global MBA Rankings 2015

The NUS Business School's Master of Business Administration (MBA) has moved up one rung to the 31st place, according to the Financial Times' (FT) Global MBA Ranking 2015. This cements the programme's position as the highest-ranked MBA degree offered by a Singaporean university.

"The NUS MBA's consistent performance in the FT's global ranking is welcome news as we celebrate the School's 50th anniversary this year. Going forward, and in line with our vision to be the leading business school in Asia, we will strive to scale greater heights, said Associate Professor Susanna Leong, Vice Dean (Graduate Studies), NUS Business School.

The FT Global MBA Ranking 2015 compiled data from two main sources: surveys conducted with alumni who graduated three years ago, as well as with business schools.

Alumni of the NUS MBA programme experienced a 127 per cent increase in their annual average salaries, the highest jump among MBA alumni of business schools in Singapore. About 98 per cent of NUS MBA alumni also landed jobs within three months of finishing the programme, indicating the strong global and local demand for its graduates.

The latest ranking comes on the heels of the FT's October 2014 release of its global Executive MBA rankings, which places the UCLA-NUS Executive MBA at 4th in the world, and the School's Asia-Pacific Executive MBA at 18th.
