Financial Times Asia-Pacific Business Schools 2018: ACEM Ranked First for Two Consecutive Years

Each of the four core programs accounted for 25% of the total, and in each individual ranking, independent programs received 100% of the ranking score, and joint programs of two business schools received 50% of the score for each school.
