Asia-Pacific business schools are on the rise. Of the top 100 global MBA programmes ranked in 2018 by the Financial Times, 18 were from the region, the highest number since rankings began in 1999.
The FT has compiled data on the region’s schools, expanding the scope from last year’s listing of Chinese business schools. Prospective students can search for and compare programmes in India, Australia, South Korea, Thailand, Japan and Singapore, as well as mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Each participating school has shared the most recent information on its MBA, masters in management and masters in finance programmes. This includes data such as the proportion of female students and average starting salary of graduates.
