The results highlight the measurable value of RSM’s post-experience education that helps EMBA graduates advance into more senior roles while learning about more responsible business practices.
“Above everything else, our mission is to equip leaders with the skills and knowledge they need to make a difference – in their own careers, and in the world” said Prof. Mirko Benischke, Dean of Education at RSM.
Empowering leaders to grow
The RSM Executive MBA is an intensive 18-month part-time programme tailored to experienced managers and professionals who want to expand their executive capabilities without stepping away from their current position. Based in the vibrant trading and logistics hub of Rotterdam, it’s built around solving real-time strategic problems, collaborating with peers, and has a distinct personal leadership development track throughout. It equips learners to navigate complex organisational transformations with confidence.
“An Executive MBA can deliver a tangible return on investment by opening doors for long-term career growth,” said Prof. Erik Roelofsen, Academic Director of the EMBA programme. “We can see that in the results: our graduates achieved salary increases of more than 56% compared to their pre-EMBA positions.”
The programme was placed in the top 30 globally for international course experience and recognised by the Financial Times for its diversity of students and faculty.
RSM teachers are amongst the top experts in their fields globally: the school reaffirmed its position among Europe’s elite research business schools and is placed #20 worldwide for research impact, which is calculated according to the number of articles published by the schools’ full-time faculty in 50 internationally recognised academic and practitioner journals. RSM advanced 13 spots to #23 globally for ESG teaching and holding in the top 20 schools globally for Carbon Footprint.
