Posted on | by Marta Re Ferrè
In the overall ranking, the Business School, an integral part of the School of Management of Politecnico di Milano, ranks fifth in Europe, the Middle East and Africa and eighth worldwide.

 

The QS Online MBA Ranking 2024, the periodic ranking by Quacquarelli Symonds on the quality of business schools at an international level, confirms the excellence of the teaching provided by POLIMI Graduate School of Management, part of the School of Management – Politecnico di Milano. Thanks to its International Flex MBA (Master in Business Administration) delivered in digital learning, the business school of the Milanese university ranks fifth in the Europe / Middle East / Africa area out of 34 schools evaluated. Globally, however, it ranks eighth out of 102 programmes. The recognition obtained follows by a few weeks the equally significant one obtained by the Financial Times for the same Master.

From the analysis of the individual parameters on which the QS ranking is based, for the second year in a row, POLIMI GSoM emerges as the absolute world and regional (Europe/Middle East/Africa) leader in the Faculty & Teaching criterion, which includes Academic Reputation (quality of lecturers and teaching measured annually by surveys on more than 95,000 academic profiles worldwide), Faculty / Student Ratio (ratio of lecturers to students) and Completion Rate (percentage of students completing the Master’s degree). In these last two indicators, POLIMI GSoM obtained a score of 100/100, thus ranking first again this year and confirming its best result ever since it has been in the ranking.

In addition to the primacy for the quality of Faculty and teaching, QS recognises the quality of the International Flex MBA also for the parameters Class Experience (value and effectiveness of learning) and Employability (graduates’ return to employment) for which it ranks third and sixth respectively in the regional reference area attributed by QS to the School.

“Once again this year, our International Flex MBA is confirmed as one of the best in the world, strengthening our School as a global reference point in higher management education and digital learning,” commented Vittorio Chiesa and Federico Frattini, President and Dean respectively of POLIMI Graduate School of Management. ‘The recognition of the quality of our lecturers and teaching, in which we are first in the world according to the opinion of 95,000 international academic profiles, drives us to continue to innovate our teaching offer. Indeed, our aim is to help train a new type of manager who is not only competent from a technical point of view, but also has an understanding of the human and social dynamics that develop in a company. The awards obtained in recent months motivate us to continue along the path we have taken, reinforcing our conviction that the role of our business school is to train new generations of leaders who, through their work, will be able to contribute to building a fairer, more inclusive and responsible society”.

POLIMI Graduate School of Management has been in the QS Online MBA Ranking since 2018, when it entered it directly in 20th place worldwide. Since then, it has always remained in the rankings, ranking in the world’s top 10 already the following year and remaining there in the following years.

Based on 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 companies in a market characterised by disruptive and fast-changing technologies. The duration of the Master varies from 15 to 32 months and is accessible to managers with at least 3 years of work experience, also facilitating students with a flexible approach that is perfectly balanced with work commitments.

The POLIMI Graduate School of Management’s training offer of excellence includes around 40 Master’s degrees each year, including 7 MBAs and Executive MBAs, 300 management training programmes, and various tailor-made projects for companies.

POLIMI Graduate School of Management – the business school that is part of the Politecnico di Milano School of Management – is once again this year confirmed as one of the top business schools in Europe.

It is a satisfaction that even exceeds our enthusiasm for featuring in the rankings for so many years: above all, we are proud that the basis of this result is our students’ appreciation. Since 2020, around 3,200 people have chosen our Masters and almost 600 companies have been involved as partners in extra-curricular activities. The strength of these connections with the entrepreneurial and productive fabric is demonstrated by post-graduation results that satisfy us even more than any international recognition.”

The excellence of the POLIMI Graduate School of Management’s training courses is also confirmed by the other criteria which, to varying degrees, affect the final score. The EMBA (Executive Master in Business Administration designed for professionals whose career has been under way for at least 6 years) rises to 47th place in the relevant rankings, gaining 7 positions on 2022. There is also improvement in the Salary Increase rating, which is the level of a manager’s pay three years after graduation and the relative difference compared to the pre-Master period: on average, after completing their Master degree, the salary of POLIMI Graduate School of Management alumni increases by 62% for Executive MBAs and almost doubles (+95%) for MBAs, aimed at those with over 3 years of work experience. Among the professors, the level of representation of women (41%) is also good.

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.

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.

In the Financial Times Ranking Top 10, limited to the business schools in the POLIMI GSoM “model”, in other words, those that are part of a technical university, Politecnico di Milano’s School of Business is placed ahead of Aalto University (Finland), TUM School of Management (Germany) and Institut Mines – Telecom Business School (France).

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

Posted on | by Angela Leone | Leave a Comment on 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.

In the words of Vittorio Chiesa and Federico Frattini, respectively President and Dean of MIP Politecnico di Milano: “We are happy with our confirmed presence in the rankings and the excellent positioning achieved again this year, despite the entry of new schools.
