The Financial Times (FT) just released its latest ranking of global Executive MBA programs a couple of days ago. In this year’s ranking, RBS has climbed to the 43rd place overall, the first time the School joins the Top 50 league.

Established in 1999, the Financial Times ranking is regarded the world’s most long-standing and authoritative business education ranking system.
