This 2021 EMBA ranking adds to an impressive list of results for HEC Paris, which includes #1 European Business School, #1 Masters in Finance, #2 Executive Education and #7 MBA Program. According to the Financial Times, data for the ranking are collected using two online surveys, the first completed by participating schools and the second by alumni who completed programmes in 2018. 

For a school to be eligible for the rankings, at least 20 per cent of its alumni must respond to the FT survey, with a minimum of 20 responses. A total of 4,770 alumni surveys were received. “Our Qatar offering is aligned to that of the home campus so our participants can be assured they are receiving the world’s best education. HEC Paris in Qatar consistently contributes to developing extraordinary leaders to help fulfill Qatar National Vision 2030 of transforming the country into a modern and competitive economy,” said Joshua Kobb, Executive Director for Partnerships and Growth, HEC Paris in Qatar.

The next intake of the HEC Paris EMBA Program offered in Qatar begins in February 2022.
