The first truly Europe-wide ranking
The new Financial Times ranking is truly Europe-wide including business schools and universities from thirteen different countries. It includes seven French and five British schools, two degrees from the Netherlands, four from Scandinavia and one from Austria, Belgium, Germany, Hungary, Ireland and Spain. Data was compiled from two main sources — from the business schools and also from their alumni who graduated three years ago. A school’s rank is determined by a combination of factors including salary, international exposure, internationality mobility, the diversity of the school and its programme and each school’s research qualities.
The management degrees assessed in the survey are pre-experience Master’s programmes intended for those who have recently been awarded undergraduate degrees, unlike the MBA degree that usually requires several years of work experience before matriculation.
