Table notesAlthough the headline ranking figures show the changes in the survey year to year, the pattern of clustering among the schools is also significant. A total of 204 points separate the top school from the school at number 100 in the ranking. The top 10 schools, from Harvard Business School to University of Chicago: Booth, form the leading group of world-class business schools, separated by 82 points. The second group is topped by IE Business School, which scored 65 points more than Imperial College Business School, leader of the third group. The fourth group, which includes schools ranked from 74th to 100th, is headed by University of Cape Town GSB.

1. Indicates the most recent year that KPMG audited a business school, applying specified audit procedures relating to selected data provided for the Financial Times MBA ranking.
KPMG reported on the results of obtaining evidence and applying specified audit procedures relating to selected survey data provided for the Financial Times 2013 MBA ranking for selected business schools. Enquiries about the assurance process can be made by contacting Michelle Podhy of KPMG at mpodhy@kpmg.ca. The specified audit procedures were carried out between November and December 2012. The audit date published denotes the survey for which the specified audit precedures were conducted.

2. The average alumni salary three years after graduation, US$ PPP equivalent. (The 2013 ranking surveyed the MBA class that graduated in 2009). Includes data for the current year and the one or two preceding years where available. This figure is not used in the ranking.

3. The average alumnus salary three years after graduation, US$ PPP equivalent, with adjustment for variations between sectors. Includes data for the current year and the one or two preceding years where available.

4. The average difference in alumnus salary before the MBA to now. Half of this figure is calculated according to the absolute salary increase, and half according to the percentage increase relative to pre-MBA salary – the “salary percentage increase” figure published in the table.

5. This is calculated using the salary earned by alumni today, course length, fees and other costs, including the opportunity cost of not working for the duration of the course.

6. This is calculated according to changes in the level of seniority and the size of company alumni are working in now, versus before their MBA. Includes data for the current year and the one or two preceding years where available.

7. The extent to which alumni fulfilled their stated goals or reasons for doing an MBA. Includes data for the current year and the one or two preceding years where available.

8. The effectiveness of the school careers service in supporting student recruitment, as rated by their alumni. Includes data for the current year and one or two preceding years where available.

9. The percentage of the most recent graduating class who had found employment or accepted a job offer within three months of graduation. The figure in brackets is the percentage of the class for which the school was able to provide employment data.

10. This is calculated according to selection by alumni of three schools from which they would recruit MBA graduates. Includes data for the current year and one or two preceding years where available.

11. Percentage of female faculty. For gender-related criteria, schools with a 50:50 (male:female) composition receive the highest score.

12. Percentage of female students. For gender-related criteria, schools with a 50:50 (male:female) composition receive the highest score.

13. Percentage of female members of the advisory board. For gender-related criteria, schools with a 50:50 (male:female) composition receive the highest score.

14. This is calculated according to the diversity of faculty by citizenship and the percentage whose citizenship differs from their country of employment – the figure published in the table.

15. This is calculated according to the diversity of current MBA students by citizenship and the percentage whose citizenship differs from the country in which they study – the figure published in the table.

16. Percentage of the board whose citizenship differs from the country in which the business school is based.

17. This is calculated according to whether alumni worked in different countries pre-MBA, on graduation and three years after graduation.

18. This is calculated according to whether the most recent graduating MBA class completed exchanges, research projects, study tours and company internships in countries other than where the school is based.

19. Number of extra languages required on completion of the MBA. Where a proportion of students requires a further language due to an additional diploma, that figure is included in the calculations but not presented in the final table.

20. Percentage of full-time faculty with a doctoral degree.

21. This is calculated according to the number of doctoral graduates from each business school during the past three years. Additional points are awarded if these doctoral graduates took up faculty positions at one of the top 50 full-time MBA schools of 2012.

22. This is calculated according to the number of articles published by a school’s current full-time faculty members in 45 selected academic and practitioner journals between January 2010 and October 2012. The rank combines the absolute number of publications with the number weighted relative to the faculty’s size.
