Oxford leaps up world rankings for executive education

Saïd Business School at the University of Oxford has climbed 13 positions in the combined ranking of Executive Education programmes compiled by the Financial Times . It now ranks 15th worldwide in the league table for 2010, published this week. Rising 13 places from last year, Saïd Business School has moved into what the Financial Times defines as 'the elite group of providers of open enrolment programmes'. It is ranked at 15 for its open enrolment programmes, making it the second highest UK school. The School has also leapt up 11 places in the rankings for its 'custom programmes' (programmes tailored for client's specific business needs), where it is now in 21st position worldwide. Gay Haskins, Dean of Executive Education, said: 'Our success in the rankings is testament to the high quality of both our custom and open enrolment programmes. During what has been a challenging year for many business schools, Saïd Business School has continued to deliver a range of highly-regarded, challenging and relevant programmes to an internationally diverse group of senior participants.
