Methodology
The Financial Times Global MBA ranking features the world's best full-time MBA programs. A total of 157 schools took part, all of which are internationally accredited and meet strict entry criteria. The FT surveys alumni three years after graduation so programs are at least four years old. To qualify for the ranking, the FT also requires that a minimum of 20 percent of a school's alumni reply to the FT survey, with at least 20 fully completed responses. Participating programs must have a minimum of 30 graduates each year to be considered.
This ranking used data collected from both the schools and the 9,800 alumni who completed a full-time MBA in 2012 — a response rate of 43 percent.
