ESCP Business School ranks 25th in the latest Financial Times global MBA ranking

ESCP Business School’s (@ESCP_bs) MBA in International Management has been ranked 25th in the world among the top 100 MBA programmes in the 2024 Financial Times annual MBA ranking, moving up two places from last year. 

The programme also maintained its place as 8^th in Europe and 3rd in France. This exceptional result cements ESCP’s place as one of the most high-profile business schools worldwide.

Performance in the FT MBA ranking is based on numerous factors including value for money, career progression and aims achieved. Other criteria are research published, international mobility as well as ESG and net zero teaching.

In all areas, ESCP demonstrated exceptional performance. Most impressive is the programme’s international outlook as it scored 3rd worldwide for international course experience and received top marks in terms of its faculty and student body diversity.

Thanks to its emphasis on flexibility and personal learning, the programme boasts a diverse cohort with participants from over 30 different nationalities, including those with backgrounds in engineering and human sciences. Indeed, ESCP ranked 1st for the diversity of sectors the students worked in at the time of admission and is one of only 3 schools to have a 50-50 split of men and women.

ESCP also earned 3^rd place worldwide for ESG and net zero teaching. Considered a transversal mindset and approach, sustainability is embedded throughout the programme (i.e. courses, seminars, company consultancy projects, events, etc.).

In addition, the comprehensive study ranked ESCP 2^nd for value for money, with 99% of students employed after three months of graduation.
