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 6^th and 11^th, 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 6^th 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 4^th 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 11^th 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 3^rd 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.

The School of Management of Politecnico di Milano confirms its inclusion in the rankings promoted by QS Quacquarelli Symonds dedicated to online MBA courses.

MIP Politecnico di Milano, the Graduate School of Business which is part of the School of Management of the Milanese University, is ranked 11th worldwide among the best business schools in the field of online MBAs according to the QS Online MBA Rankings 2022.

The International Flex MBA was the first smart learning MBA launched in Italy in 2014, based on one of the most advanced digital learning platforms in the world, developed on Microsoft technology.

Since 2018, it has featured in the renowned Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) classification, which every year evaluates the quality of the courses delivered remotely around the world. This year, the competition involved a broader panel of Business Schools: the number of Schools rated rose from 57 to 72 worldwide.

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. Since we launched the first edition of our International Flex MBA in 2014, we have continued to work on improving the quality of distance teaching and learning.”

From an analysis of the individual parameters on which the rankings are based, it emerges that MIP has distinguished itself because of the range of courses it offers. In particular, the placing of the International Flex MBA excels in the Faculty & Teaching parameter, where it is fourth worldwide. With respect to Class Experience (percentage of activities carried out in person, flexibility/online accessibility, technical support), it ranks seventh, while on the employability of the participants it is in twentieth place.

91st in the world for the International Master in Business Administration at the Milan-based university’s School of Management in the most recent Financial Times Global MBA Ranking. This MBA is second in Europe among business schools linked to technical universities.

MIP Politecnico di Milano, the Graduate School of Business at Politecnico di Milano’s School of Management, again confirms its competitiveness on the international stage, receiving further major recognition. MIP’s International Full-time MBA, one of the Business School’s flagship programmes and a strategic step in advancing the career of middle and senior managers, is rated among the best 100 Masters in Business Administration in the world. According to the Financial Times Global MBA Ranking, published today, MIP’s International MBA is ranked 91st globally. Looking only at the ranking of business schools linked to a technical university, MIP is in second place, immediately after Imperial College Business School (UK).

In the words of Vittorio Chiesa and Federico Frattini, President and Dean of MIP Politecnico di Milano, respectively: “For a growing number of students across the world, our Full-time Master in Business Administration is the launching pad towards a high-flying career. The exceptional quality of our educational programme is recognised in the authoritative Financial Times classification, underlining what we have always believed in: choosing an MBA today is decisive for the professional growth of company leaders”.

Among its strengths that helped MIP enter the FT ranking are the participants’ substantial increase in salary. In the categories relating to career progress, the percentage rise in average salary three years after completing the MBA has climbed from 76% to 94%, compared to last year’s figures. In the category value for money, PoliMI’s Business School is 6th in the world.

Looking at other criteria, international mobility scored highly; this considers the students’ nationality and the location where they worked before taking our MBA, immediately afterwards and then again three years later. MIP’s 28th place confirms the excellent quality of its alumni, acknowledged both nationally and internationally.

MIP is placed in the upper half of the classification in another criterion that is rapidly gaining importance, especially for the only School in Europe that has achieved its B Corp accreditation. MIP is 30th in the world for the percentage of training hours covering topics relating to CSR (ethics, green issues, social responsibility) and ESG (environmental, social and governance) out of the total number of teaching hours (ESG teaching).

MIP’s two most senior professors concluded by saying: “In a dynamic market that faces new challenges every day, companies must be guided by managers equipped with the best skills to ensure that their business is competitive, and that their employees are motivated and can grow professionally and personally. Gaining a diploma issued by a business school of excellence, one of the few boasting the three main international accreditations, can certainly be the spur to invest in one’s future”.

MIP’s educational portfolio of excellence covers about 40 Masters, including 7 MBAs and Executive MBAs, 200 open executive programmes and a series of training programmes customised for companies. MIP’s International Full-time MBA is a 12-month programme, where participants spend the last three months working on a project. The courses are organised into pillars, covering the central topics, and into more vertical specialisation courses.

MIP Politecnico di Milano, part of the university’s School of Management, has bettered its position in the FT European Business School Rankings 2021

MIP Politecnico di Milano, the Graduate School of Business at Politecnico di Milano’s School of Management, has again this year improved its position at the upper echelons of business schools in Europe.

According to the Financial Times European Business Schools Ranking 2021, published today, MIP has climbed to second place in Europe among the best business schools belonging to a technical university (Politecnico di Milano) bettered only by Imperial College Business School (UK). Last year, it was in third place. The confirmation of MIP’s excellent educational offer is highlighted in its improved position in the general ranking, where the Milan-based business school is 37th out of the 95 classified.

In the words of Vittorio Chiesa and Federico Frattini, President and Dean of MIP Politecnico di Milano, respectively: “Being in the apex zone of this classification of business schools that are part of a European technical university is a recognition of the effectiveness of our work and investment over this complex period to ensure the continuity of our offer. Rankings are certainly a key element that managers turn to when seeking to upskill themselves, and we can only be highly satisfied with this endorsement. We also know that, beyond rankings, we have a reputational value that strengthens our place as a reference point in education and training. The certification that we have received over the years and our ever increasing network of companies with whom we work, set MIP apart for its excellence in the field of lifelong learning, and a safe haven for those who, with reason, believe it to be a cornerstone for competing in a challenging market.”

The Financial Times also acknowledges the quality of the individual programmes taught at MIP, with two Masters advancing in its 2021 rankings. MIP’s MBA (Master in Business Administration) now in 34th place and EMBA (Executive Master in Business Administration) in 54th place, have climbed up by four and two places respectively, compared to 2020. In the Executive MBA, there is an improvement in the FT’s evaluation of the parameter Salary Today / Salary Increase, which compares the amount paid to managers three years after taking MIP’s EMBA against their pre-Master salary. On average, the salary of an MIP EMBA alumnus/a rises by 53%.

In the Financial Times top 10 ranking for business schools in the MIP “model” alone, meaning those that are part of a technical university, Politecnico di Milano’s business school is placed immediately behind Aalto University (Finland), TUM School of Management (Germany) and Institut Mines – Telecom Business School (France).

MIP’s educational portfolio of excellence covers about 40 Masters, including 7 MBAs and Executive MBAs, 200 open executive programmes and a series of training programmes customised for companies.

The specialist educational programmes at MIP Politecnico di Milano, the Graduate School of Business at Politecnico di Milano’s School of Management, are again ranked among the best in the world. This year, the International Master in Digital Supply Chain Management (iMSCPM) has retained its 7th place globally out of 62, according to the QS Business Masters Ranking 2022, published today by Quacquarelli Symonds (QS), the global consultancy company specialising in higher education, which examined 600 Masters.

The Milan-based business school joins other rankings with its Specialising Masters in Marketing (32/105), Management (37/155), Business Analytics (43/120) and Finance (65/179), where it has made improvements compared to last year and gained substantial stability, and in some cases evaluations above the world average.

As well as its classification for Specialising Masters, QS has drawn up a ranking of the best Global MBAs, where MIP Politecnico di Milano is in the top 100 globally, with its Full-time MBA in 88th place out of 286 Masters from 45 countries across the world. In Europe, MIP is 29th out of 73 programmes. MIP’s Master stood out in particular for its excellent level of Employability, evaluated after interviewing 54 thousand recruiters worldwide, and for its Return on Investment (ROI).

Vittorio Chiesa, President of MIP Politecnico di Milano commented: “The fact that our educational offer continues to hold its own in this accredited international ranking is certainly a source of pride. At the same time, it will urge us to press on with improvements, so that our Masters can always respond to the needs of new graduates and managers with established careers, working in many different industries. Trusting QS to assess the quality of our MBAs and Specialising Masters means that we can measure ourselves against hundreds of business schools around the world in a range of aspects, including the scientific quality of the faculty, the students’ career progression, class diversity, just to mention some of the most relevant”.

In its Master in Supply Chain, MIP was again able to shine among the best in the world for Employability, as well as for Value for Money. Considering these two indicators alone, the Business School in Milan is in 5th and 6th place in the world, respectively, demonstrating the excellence of its educational programmes. The International Master in Digital Supply Chain Management – Operations, Procurement and Logistics targets young graduates interested in discovering more about the various management topics linked to the operations and supply chain sector, with a particular focus on technological innovation and sustainability.

Federico Frattini, Dean of MIP, added: “Our result is even more impressive if we consider that, over the years, more and more business schools have joined the ranking, and it brings even greater value to our accreditations awarded by the main international bodies. We, therefore, intend to share this acknowledgment with students, alumni, professionals and companies that together form a vast international community in daily contact with our School, and is a primary resource for MIP”.
