Climbing 35 spots from the year before, the Nanyang MBA offered by NTU's Nanyang Business School (NBS) is now the top MBA programme in Asia. Published annually, The Economist's Full-time MBA Rankings rank MBA programmes according to four key indicators - opening new career opportunities; personal development and educational experience; salary; and the potential to network. The Nanyang MBA's improved ranking comes on the back of strong performance in career placement, personal development and educational experience, and its graduates' salary, which jumped 16, 44 and 37 places respectively from the previous year. Most notably, NBS is now ranked 16th worldwide in the "opening new career opportunities" indicator.
