The Master of Business Administration (MBA) programme offered by NTU Singapore’s Nanyang Business School is now ranked Singapore’s top MBA programme.

The Financial Times Global MBA Ranking 2025 announced today ranks NTU’s Nanyang MBA programme 22 globally, jumping 10 positions from last year. It is ranked No. 1 in Singapore and the third-ranked MBA programme in the Asia-Pacific region.

NTU’s rise in rankings was borne from its graduates’ higher salaries and boosts to their career progression.

NTU MBA graduates saw, on average, almost a one-and-a-half-fold salary increase three years after completing the programme. They earned a weighted salary of US$186,832, up from US$158,111 the previous year, after adjusting for variations between sectors.

The MBA programme scored well for its students’ career progression, ranking 32 in the world, as measured by changes in the alumni’s level of seniority and size of the organisation they work in now, compared with before their MBA.
