The College of Business at City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK) is pleased to announce an outstanding debut performance in the QS Global EMBA Rankings, marking the College’s first-ever participation in this influential global assessment.
In the latest rankings, CityUHK’s Executive MBA (EMBA) programme is ranked No. 58 globally, No. 2 in Hong Kong, and No. 10 in the Asia-Pacific region. Most notably, the programme’s Executive Profile achieved an exceptional No. 3 ranking worldwide, underscoring the high calibre and leadership strength of its EMBA cohort.
The QS Executive Profile indicator assesses the quality of EMBA participants based on factors such as work experience, seniority, C-suite representation, and managerial expertise. CityUHK’s impressive global standing in this category reflects the programme’s success in attracting highly accomplished executives with substantial leadership responsibilities and wide-ranging industry experience – fully embodying the programme ethos of “Connecting ELITE: Immerse in Global Business Innovation.”
Professor Stephen Shum, Dean of the College of Business at City University of Hong Kong, said:
“We are extremely proud of our first entry into the QS Global EMBA Rankings and the remarkable recognition received, particularly our No. 3 ranking worldwide for Executive Profile. This achievement speaks volumes about the quality, depth and leadership experience of our EMBA participants, many of whom hold senior executive and C-suite positions. It also reinforces our long-standing commitment to nurturing impactful business leaders who can thrive in an increasingly complex global environment.”
The CityUHK College of Business first launched its Executive MBA programme in September 1997. Over the years, the programme has built a strong reputation for academic excellence, practical relevance, and close engagement with the business community. The encouraging results in its inaugural participation in the QS Global EMBA Rankings further affirm the programme’s quality, impact, and international competitiveness.
