SINGAPORE: Singapore's Nanyang Business School's flagship full-time MBA programme has again been ranked among the top 30 globally in the latest report by London-based Financial Times.

Although it dropped three notches from last year's ranking, the 27th placing this year still makes it the only Singaporean MBA in the top 100 full-time global MBA programmes.

In the Asia-Pacific, the MBA is ranked among the top four.

The programme scored well on several fronts, including salary increases, career progression, international mobility and ideas generation through research.

The Financial Times survey showed that the Nanyang MBAs who graduated three years ago, currently enjoy on average a salary of US$110,567, up from US$104,294 reported last year by the previous batch.

The most significant improvement was in career progress rank, which has jumped to 15th position from 71st position last year. The school said it demonstrates the programme's value to improve one's career over the long term.

Professor Gillian Yeo, Interim Dean at Nanyang Business School, said: "Our strategy has always been to emphasise both academic rigour and relevance to businesses and industry, to enable our graduates to successfully and responsibly lead organisations globally.

"As we continue to attract some of the most talented students from around the world and hire more world class faculty, we intend to work towards creating knowledge with an Asian focus. We will be doing research on the new Asian economic giants China and India, and developing case studies."

The Financial Times ranking is based on two sets of surveys - one completed by alumni who graduated three years ago and the other by the top business schools.
