The FT Master Of Management Rankings: Unlocking Business Education Excellence
The Financial Times Master of Management rankings provide a comprehensive evaluation of business schools, highlighting the world's best Master in Management programs. This year's rankings highlight a growing emphasis on flexibility, online learning, and career opportunities. Out of 124 programs, the London Business School topped the ranking, followed by the University of Oxford Said Business School and the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.
The FT Master of Management program rankings evaluated schools based on weighted criteria such as salary increase, entrepreneurship, career progress, alumni salary, diversity, and the quality of research and faculty. The percentage of respondents who found a job within three months of graduation, as well as the average annual global salary for graduates were also used in the assessment.
According to one reputable source: 'European business education has reached new heights, with UK programs dominating the list, while US schools saw a significant fall.' Notre Dame's Mendoza College of Business slipped to eighth place, its worst ranking in a decade, in part due to a decrease in salary increase for its graduates. European schools continue to perform well, but no non-European institution apart from INSEAD made it into the upper half of the ranking.
A growing trend identified in the FT Master of Management rankings is the increasing importance of online learning options. Online MBAs have grown 130% since the start of the pandemic, with students seeking flexibility, accessibility, and affordability. Persistence was also highlighted as a significant quality, emphasizing the necessity for programs to sustain student engagement and support throughout their studies.
There are some things that recent graduation data revealed according to the FT rankings; The top 10 schools saw a 37% overall increase in start-up creation over last year. While globally only 10% of the class of 2022 created start-ups, schools saw wildly different results, from low base with 5% start-up creation rate at MonasterGrad is its highest achievement to INSEAD and ETH Zurich, where graduate start-up creation rates stood at 35% and 32%.
