Henley Business School’s position as a world-ranked provider
of executive education has been confirmed by the results of the
Financial Times Executive Education Ranking published 10 May 2010.
This is the first year that the ICMA Centre has contributed to the
Business School’s entry.
Henley Business School's standing as a world class education establishment has
again been confirmed by the results of the latest Financial Times Executive
Education Ranking which were published on 10 May 2010. Ranking 33rd worldwide in a
composite listing for open and custom executive education programmes. The overall
results of this survey reflect the efforts and success of Henley Business School
following the merger in 2008. The result highlights the way the School of
Management's business and leadership programmes are now complemented and
strengthened by the ICMA Centre's finance executive education programmes.
John Board, director of the ICMA Centre commented: "The merger with Henley has
enabled us to work together on new and innovative executive programmes by combining
the expertise of the schools within the faculty."
The main strength of the combined organization is the international focus which it
has been able to maintain with its international clients, international participants
and international delivery - across Europe, Sub Saharan Africa, the Middle East and
South East Asia. The ICMA Centre has long offered a comprehensive range of custom
programmes for international institutions such as the Bank of China, KSDA (Korean
Securities Dealers Association) and the Qatar Stock Exchange. Henley is now ranked
15th in the world for the breadth and depth of its international clients within its
custom programmes.
The ICMA centre provides financial degree courses in
addition to specialised Islamic finance courses.
Henley Business School dean, Chris Bones commented: "It is always a satisfaction to
know that the results of the rankings reflect our efforts and the success of the
merger in supporting this achievement. This spurs us on to improve on those areas,
which will continue to transform us as a leading international business school."
