The Gordon Institute of Business Science at the University of Pretoria ranks among some of the top MBA programmes for senior working managers in the world.<\/p>\n

The joint programme delivered by Kellogg\/HKUST in China managed to hold off a new entry, EMBA-Global Asia, retaining the top place it regained last year in the FT Executive MBA Ranking of 2017.<\/p>\n

In total, this is the eighth time that this programme has been ranked number one, the FT said. The Tsinghua University\/Insead programme that came top in 2015 drops one place to third.<\/p>\n

The Gordon Institute of Business Science at the University of Pretoria, ranked 87th, is the only representative from Africa.<\/p>\n

The school has been continuously ranked since 2011, when it entered the top 100 at 67. Its highest position was 60th, in 2012.<\/p>\n

Its alumni have the highest average salary among the bottom half of the table at $207,000 (R2.8 million) – the average alumni salary three years after graduation, and a 48% increase on their pre-EMBA pay.<\/strong><\/p>\n

While the school has the second-lowest proportion of international faculty, it is in the top 10 for gender diversity, the FT report said.<\/p>\n

An EMBA requires a deep personal commitment besides a financial one. \u201cIt was extremely hard work to balance the gruelling schedule and workload of the EMBA, a full-time senior job and a very young family,\u201d said one graduate in the FT survey. \u201cCollaboration and study groups are essential.\u201d<\/p>\n

These are the 15 best executive business courses in the world, according to the Financial Times<\/a>:<\/p>\n
