[ad_1]

The FT’s ranking team delved into the 2020 data on topics ranging from career progress, alumni seniority and sectors of employment to gender balance, value for money and graduates’ views on what business schools do well ­— and less well. We compare the figures for alumni from MBA, executive MBA (EMBA) and Masters in Management (MiM) programmes

Masters in Management programmes at European business schools tend to have more gender-balanced cohorts. The number of female students studying for an MBA, executive MBA or MiM has increased in recent years.
