Financial Times Rankings – Masters in Management 2023

The Master of Science in Management Engineering at Politecnico di Milano has climbed to 77th place in the Financial Times Rankings of Masters in Management 2023, gaining 7 positions compared to 2022.

 

The Master of Science in Management Engineering of the School of Industrial and Information Engineering at Politecnico di Milano confirms once again this year its inclusion in the “Masters in Management 2023” Ranking, thus obtaining further recognition from the Financial Times.
Despite the entry of 21 new schools, the Programme has gained 7 positions compared to 2022 and has thus raised to 70th place, taking Politecnico among the top 9 technical universities.

The criteria that have made this advancement possible include, among others, Weighted Salary, Salary Increase, Value for Money – the quality-price ratio of the Programme – and International Course experience – calculated based on the number of exchanges and internships with one-month minimum duration in locations other than that of the School.

Politecnico’s Laurea Magistrale/Master of Science in Management Engineering has about 900 students admitted each year, of which around 20 per cent are international students.

Teaching is delivered in English and there also numerous opportunities for student international exchanges and mobility: the Erasmus Programme, Double Degree programmes in collaboration with prestigious foreign universities, and special programmes of varying duration from a few days up to one-year exchanges.

Each year more than 350 students decide to try an experience abroad and just as many students are accepted on exchange, making our Campus increasingly international.

The combination of the experiences and skills provided and the constant demand from the world of labour for Management Engineers make this Master of Science one of the best programmes in the field of economic and management education.

The School of Management of Politecnico di Milano flies to fourth place in the European rankings and is placed first for the quality of Faculty and Teaching

 

The QS Online MBA Rankings: Europe 2023, Quacquarelli Symonds’ periodic classification of the quality of business schools at international level, has confirmed the excellence of POLIMI Graduate School of Management. Thanks to its International Flex MBA (Master in Business Administration) delivered in digital learning, the Milanese University’s business school is fourth in Europe out of 26 schools evaluated. Furthermore, particularly outstanding is the International Flex MBA’s placement as 1st at European level with respect to the “Faculty & Teaching” criterion (with the quality of lecturers and teaching measured annually by surveys on more than 100,000 academic profiles worldwide), achieving the best result ever since the school entered the league table.

From an analysis of the individual parameters on which the ranking is based, in addition to the European record for the quality of Faculty and Teaching, the parameters of Employability and Class Experience are also highlighted.  As regards Employability, POLIMI GSoM ranks 5th in Europe, whereas the Milan University’s business school is placed 3rd for the value of the Class Experience, understood as the digital learning experience offered to participants.

“This recognition comes just a few weeks after that of the Financial Times; being placed among the top European business schools with our digitally taught Executive MBA also by the authoritative QS rankings once again certifies our leadership in the field of innovation and digitalisation of management training”, remarked Vittorio Chiesa and Federico Frattinirespectively President and Dean of POLIMI Graduate School of Management. “The first place in Europe for the quality of our Faculty and Teaching is a historic achievement, which can only make us proud as it contributes to further enhancing the reputation enjoyed by our school.”

Since then it has remained a constant in the classification, already featuring in the top 10 in the following year, remaining there also in each subsequent year. If we consider that 2023 is the year in which the QS rankings have classified the largest number of business schools ever, this year’s result is the best since the Milanese business school entered the rankings.

Powered by one of the most advanced digital learning platforms in the world, POLIMI Graduate School of Management’s International Flex MBA is designed to prepare qualified and motivated managers to lead businesses in a market of disruptive and rapidly evolving technologies.

Financial Times: Polimi Graduate School of Management continues to climb the rankings of best business schools in europe

Politecnico di Milano’s Business School is second in Europe among the schools belonging to “technical” universities, says the Financial Times in its European Business School Ranking 2022.

 

Milan, 5 December 2022 – POLIMI Graduate School of Management further improves its position among the foremost business schools in Europe again this year. According to the Financial Times European Business Schools Ranking 2022, published today, Politecnico di Milano’s Business School has confirmed its second place in Europe among the best business schools belonging to a technical university (Politecnico di Milano) behind only Imperial College Business School (UK). The excellent quality of the programmes offered at POLIMI Graduate School of Management is additionally reflected in its progress within the general ranking, where the Milan-based business school is now 31st out of the 95 classified, climbing 6 places from last year. In five years (from 2017), the School has gained 11 places, recording its best result since 2010, the year it entered the rankings, when 75 business schools were included in the classification.

“We are delighted about this new recognition included in such eminent league tables as those published every year by the Financial Times. This endorsement came at the end of 2022, a year full of changes for our School, including a new name and brand, and the inauguration of our new Navigli Campus in the heart of Milan”, said Vittorio Chiesa and Federico Frattini, President and Dean of POLIMI Graduate School of Management, respectively. “To cap this, our Master in Business Administration (MBA) – which was completely overhauled last year – and our Executive Education programmes have also improved their standings in the FT Rankings. Our success in Executive Education is the incentive to continue working closely at the side of companies, to respond to their needs in education and training with first-class programmes that are in line with the skills that today’s and tomorrow’s leaders must have in this period of transition and transformation.

A closer look at the rankings shows the position of individual programmes offered at the School. Our MBA (Master in Business Administration) is in 25th place, up by 9 places on 2021, and EMBA (Executive Master in Business Administration) reconfirms its 54th place. Taking the individual criteria that affect the School’s general position in the rankings, a point worth mentioning is the improvement in Salary Increase, which is the amount paid to managers three years after they complete their course and how this compares to their earnings beforehand. On average, the salary of POLIMI Graduate School of Management alumni rises by 59% post Executive MBA and by 94% post MBA.

Executive Education has also improved its position against last year.

Online MBA Rankings 2022: MIP Politecnico di Milano among the best in the world

The Financial Times and QS Quacquarelli Symonds place the International Flex MBA at Politecnico di Milano’s School of Management among the world’s best once more this year, ranking it 6th and 11th, respectively.

MIP Politecnico di Milano, the Graduate School of Business at Politecnico di Milano’s School of Management, has received two major international recognitions, underlining the quality of its digital learning education. Two of the most authoritative certifying bodies have underscored the excellence of the School’s International Flex MBA on the international stage.

According to the FT Online MBA Ranking 2022, MIP’s online MBA has climbed two places this year, and is now ranked 6th in the world, one of a select group of outstanding MBA programmes taught in distance learning. The highly respected British newspaper now ranks MIP up in 4th place in Europe, confirming its position as the only Italian business school to be included in this exclusive classification.

And this is not the only acknowledgement awarded to MIP’s online MBA. The QS (Quacquarelli Symonds) Online MBA Ranking 2022 has also certified its value, placing the MBA at 11th place in the world.

Vittorio Chiesa and Federico Frattini, the President and the Dean of MIP, stated: “We are delighted and immensely proud of the excellent placings achieved this year by one of our flagship MBAs. Ever since we launched the first edition of our Flex MBA in digital learning, back in 2014, we have been hard at work to improve the quality of our distance teaching. It needs experience and knowledge in educational design to come up with a good online programme and implement it satisfactorily. It also needs teachers ready to work within a flexible and inclusive approach to teaching. Technology is a great enabler for rethinking the way we all teach and learn.”

MIP’s International MBA is based on one of the most advanced digital learning platforms in the world, developed on Microsoft technology, and was the first distance learning programme to be launched in Italy, at a time when there still a big question mark over the model of digital learning.

Returning to the subject of the FT rankings, from an analysis of the individual parameters used to determine scores, a standout factor for MIP is its continuous commitment to sustainability, strengthening the School’s B Corp identity and its status as the first and only business school in Europe to bear this certification. Looking at the environmental, social and governance (ESG) rank (which takes in how many teaching hours in core courses are spent on ethical, social and environmental issues), MIP’s MBA is placed 3rd in the world. The results for career progress are also highly significant, increasingly indicating that MIP is the gold standard for continuous learning offered to top company managers.
