19 universities from 11 study destinations are included in this year's ranking of the best MBA programmes available in the Middle East & Africa. While Europe and North America continue to be the most popular study destinations for MBA candidates, business schools in this region of the world are growing in strength and the region's top-ranked school, AUB (Suliman S. Olayan), achieves a remarkably high score for return on investment this year.

To compile the rankings, QS has developed proprietary metrics around employability, entrepreneurship, ROI, thought leadership and diversity, collected by QS research analysts.
