About the Financial Times Ranking  Methodology

According to the Financial Times, “this ranking evaluates the world’s best full-time MBA programmes. A record 159 schools took part. All had to meet strict entry criteria and are internationally accredited. Their MBA programmes have run for at least four years and have a minimum of 30 graduates each  year.

The ranking is compiled using data collected from the schools and a survey of alumni who completed full-time MBAs in 2011. For schools to be ranked, 20 per cent of their alumni must respond to the FT survey, with at least 20 fully completed responses. This year, about 9,700 alumni completed the survey — a response rate of 40 per  cent.”
