The National University of Singapore (NUS) Business School’s Executive Master of Business Administration (EMBA) has maintained its top position in Asia and 14th global spot in the Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) Global EMBA Rankings 2025, marking the second consecutive time that the programme has topped the rankings in Asia. The programme has been among the global top 20 for the past eight years, underscoring the continuous innovation in its curriculum.
Against 205 global programmes this year, the NUS Business School’s EMBA showed its strength across several key indicators, including its top global ranking for Executive Profile. This achievement reflects the EMBA programme’s success in attracting diverse, senior global leaders who average 18 years of managerial or C-suite experience across various industries. Career outcomes saw a significant improvement, moving up eight spots to place among the top 20 globally for the first time, despite challenging global conditions.
In the same QS ranking, the UCLA-NUS EMBA climbed one spot to achieve 2nd place among 27 joint programmes globally. This is the strongest showing by the programme, supported by its outstanding performance in Executive Profile and Career Outcomes which improved by two and four spots, to place second and third in the world respectively.
Distinguished Professor Andrew Rose, Dean of NUS Business School said, “Maintaining our position as first in Asia is a powerful affirmation of our commitment to excellence and the continued relevance of our programmes in a rapidly evolving business landscape.”
He added, “This success will not be possible without our dedicated faculty, staff, and partners. Over the years, their efforts have developed transformational programmes, producing exceptional graduates whose achievements have shaped our legacy in the global business arena. We look forward to continuing our journey as a leading provider of world-class education to diverse audiences.”
