        CUHK's Faculty of Business Administration has remained a leading business school in Asia. Started in 1993, its Executive MBA (EMBA) Programme serves the business community with quality business education. In the recent Business Week EMBA Ranking, the EMBA programme offered by the CUHK is ranked among the top 35 in the world. It is the top EMBA programme in Asia and Australia.

        The EMBA programme of the CUHK is established with the objective of developing in participants essential skills and knowledge in modern management, and preparing them for general management responsibilities at the senior executive level. The programme aims to improve participants’ analytical and decision-making capabilities, and enhance the competitive advantages of their enterprises. Relevance will be emphasized in the context of Hong Kong's strategic location within China and the Asia-Pacific region.

        This is the Business Week's first ranking of EMBA programmes across the globe in a decade. 82 schools with EMBA programs, which met the basic criteria for inclusion, were first identified. Then a survey of over 3,000 recent graduates of EMBA programs and a poll done by the 82 EMBA program directors were done to develop a ranked list.

        The survey focused on students' experience at their schools, teaching quality, level of support services and curriculum flexibility. For the poll, the 82 EMBA program directors were asked to choose ten schools that offered the highest-quality programmes.
