Cambridge Judge Business School’s Executive MBA (EMBA) degree programmes for senior working professionals were today (14 October) ranked 25th in the Financial Times (FT) ranking of global EMBA programmes.

Among areas of the latest FT survey, Cambridge Judge was ranked third out of 100 EMBA programmes in ‘career progress’, or changes in the level of seniority and size of the company in which alumni now work compared to before their EMBA, and eighth in ‘aims achieved’, with 74% of those surveyed saying they fulfilled their goals or reasons for doing an EMBA.

Other areas recognised by the rankings include the international and diverse nature of our students, faculty and Advisory Board, which benefits the entire Cambridge Judge community.

Interim Dean of the Business School, Professor Gishan Dissanaike, said:

“The Executive MBA offering at Cambridge Judge Business School has long prided itself in allowing each student to pursue their individual interests while grounding them in essential knowledge and skills. These rankings show that our EMBA graduates are advancing in their careers and believe that their degree helped them achieve their goals.

“Yet rankings do not dictate our core mission and values, nor do they reflect all the approaches chosen by business schools to best serve their students and other communities. Cambridge Judge believes that students should follow their dreams in whatever career path they choose – whether in the corporate, non-profit, creative or government sectors – and this diversity enriches our students, alumni and the entire Cambridge Judge ecosystem.

“Our Executive MBA programmes continue to go from strength to strength, and we look forward to welcoming our next Global EMBA cohort in January 2025. This will be the second cohort of students to our Global EMBA programme, which has a blended format that includes in-person teaching blocks and live learning online.”
