The Financial Times is widely regarded as a leading authority in global business and financial news. Established over a century ago, it has a reputation for providing in-depth analysis and comprehensive coverage of the financial world.
The Executive Education Open Ranking 2024 is the 25th edition of this ranking. It is a ranking of top institutes worldwide that offer open-enrolment executive education programs. It includes the top 80 schools offering open-enrolment courses.
The FT Executive Education Open Ranking 2024’s methodology combines data provided by schools (20%) and survey results from program participants (80%).
The survey criteria ask program participants to grade the school based on factors such as Course Design, Faculty, and Goals achieved. The schools’ data ranks factors such as Faculty Diversity, Growth, and the percentage of Female Participants and International Participants.
So, how does this year’s ranking compare to the FT Open Ranking 2023?
Similarly to 2023, European schools continue to dominate the top ten and no schools based in the US made the cut. The top-ranked schools are primarily based in the UK, Spain, and France, which have three schools each.
Fundação Dom Cabral school in Brazil ranks at a commendable spot five, breaking the European trend.
Interestingly, many of the schools ranking in the top ten have global partner schools abroad, such as in the US, the United Arab Emirates, and Singapore. This suggests the growing importance of global outreach and a diverse student population in top universities.
When considering which study program to choose, there is no one right choice. The FT Executive Education Open 2023 Rankings can act as a tool to guide your decision-making.
However, remember that having a clear perspective on your long-term academic and career goals will help guide you.
Don’t forget to consider factors like school location, program length, program costs, and financial options. Investigate program curricula, alumni, campus events, and extracurriculars to decide what best fits your needs.
