14:47 20/10/2015

For the third year in a row, Vlerick Business School has moved up in the annual Financial Times Executive MBA Ranking. The school, with locations in Leuven, Ghent and Brussels, has climbed from 82nd last year to 73rd this year. Antwerp Management School dropped in the list, from 59 last year to 67 this year.

The Executive MBA Ranking rates the top 100 business schools worldwide. It’s based on a survey of business schools and of their students who graduated in 2012. The data measure how successful alumni have been in their career in terms of salary, seniority and achievements. Vlerick and Antwerp are the only Belgian institutions to make the list.

An important asset for Antwerp Management School is its international dimension. A collaboration with the Institute of Business Studies in Moscow means that students can study at both campuses. Another collaboration allows students to follow some courses at universities in the US and China. Antwerp ranks in 20th place in the category of international course experience.

Vlerick’s programme, meanwhile, which also has a campus in St Petersburg, provides excellent opportunities, according to its alumni, who ranking placed it 16th place in the category of career progress.

For the first time, the ranking is topped by a mainland China business school: the joint programme between Tsinghua University and France’s Insead University.
