IESE’s Global Executive MBA (GEMBA) is ranked 4th in the world. That’s according to the 2024 Financial Times Executive MBA ranking, published in 2024.

This excellent result underscores the quality of our Global EMBA programme and the unique international experience it offers participants, as well as its ability to expand their professional and personal horizons and connect them with our global alumni network,” says Andrea Montalvo, Executive Education spokesperson at IESE.

With participants from over 30 nationalities and modules in key hubs across the United States, Europe, and Asia, the programme helps executives foster an international outlook, while also allowing them to delve into the critical issues that are part of any global business leader’s agenda.

The 2024 Financial Times ranking highlights the international diversity of the Global Executive MBA participants (no.1 in the world for international students), as well as the wide-ranging global experience the programme provides (no.4 in the world for international course experience).

The GEMBA is a 17-month programme that combines online learning with in-person modules in six key cities across three continents. Participants gain direct experience in strategic markets and top-tier business hubs such as New York, Silicon Valley, Singapore, Munich, and Madrid.

Another reason for IESE’s excellent position in the British publication’s ranking is the quality of the participants in the GEMBA programme (no.2 in the world for work experience). Participants are typically senior executives with more than 10 years of experience in large international companies, which significantly enhances the peer-learning in the classroom.

With its blend of global immersion, diverse cohorts, and senior-level peer learning, IESE’s Global Executive MBA continues to set the standard for executive education worldwide.
