SOAS University of London has been ranked in the top 5 universities in the UK for producing a CEO or Managing Director, according to new research.

The study , carried out by Hitachi Capital Invoice Finance , analysed data from alumni who had left 121 UK universities since the year 2000 and had gone on to become either CEOs or Managing Directors, or found their own business. SOAS ranked in the top 5 of UK universities for producing CEOs and MDs.
