Given the huge cost of undertaking a master's degree in business administration (MBA), prospective students will be interested to know which institutions turn out the highest earners.

Salary benchmarking website Emolument looked at pay data from almost 11,000 MBA holders to see which universities offer their graduates the highest earnings potential.

America dominates the list, but universities in the United Kingdom, France, Spain, and Switzerland also feature.

"While MBA represent a substantial cost for professionals, their impact on one's earning potential and career is undeniable," Thomas Drewry, one of Emolument's co-founders said.

"All the data shown in these rankings stands way above what the average professional with an undergraduate degree can reasonably expect to earn during his career."

Check out the universities below.
