Aalto EE still ranks in the global top 50
12.05.2014
Aalto University Executive Education (Aalto EE) maintained its position among the top 50 executive education providers in the annual Financial Times Executive Education ranking.
This year, Aalto EE achieved a global ranking of 48th. Aalto EE was particularly strong in overseas programs: by this criterion, Aalto EE ranked seventh in the world.
In addition to overseas programs, the Financial Times stated that, like last year, corporate customers still appreciate the value for money and new skills and learning provided by Aalto EE, as well as the diverse teaching methods employed by the company.
In a Nordic comparison, Aalto EE ranked first in three areas: faculty diversity, new skills and learning and quality of participants.
− The role of these rankings or comparisons is frequently criticized, since they favor institutions operating in global metropolises and there are gaps in their data-collection methods. In spite of all this, they provide us with an important mirror for developing our operations as the only global operator in Finland, says Aalto University Professor Pekka Mattila, Group Managing Director of Aalto EE.
− Ascending to the global top and staying there have required years of work. Securing the resources of Aalto University, the general economic development of Finland, and the country's attractiveness to investors are key factors for our future progress, he continues.
Open enrolment and customized programs are ranked separately in the FT Executive Education ranking. The overall listing is based on the total rating achieved in these two categories. The ranking is based on customer feedback and statistics provided by the schools. The Financial Times only ranks the top 50 executive education providers. Globally, executive education and MBA programs are offered by around 4,000 institutions.
The top two executive education establishments in the ranking remained the same: HEC Paris and Iese Business School. Barcelona-based top school ESADE, a strategic partner of Aalto EE, ranked fifth in the listing.
Now participating for the 14th time, Aalto University Executive Education is ranked under the name Aalto University.
