The Economist ranks The Copenhagen MBA among the top 100 programmes in the world.

The Economist released their 2016 MBA rankings on 13 Oct, with The Copenhagen MBA ranked among the top 100 MBA programmes in the world.

The Economist rankings reflect the prevailing conditions of salaries, available jobs and the school situation at the time the survey is carried out. Each year The Economist surveys thousands of MBA students and alumni and asks them on their deciding factors for enrolling in a Full-time MBA programme. The weightings used are based on the importance students themselves place on different criteria.

Ranking data is first completed by schools with eligible programmes that cover quantitative matters - salary of graduates, the average GMAT scores and registered alumni. This accounts for around 80% of the ranking. The remaining 20% comes from a qualitative survey completed by current MBA students and the school's most recent graduating MBA class.

Poul Hedegaard, MBA Director at Copenhagen Business Schools comments:
“The Full-time MBA market is extremely competitive and to be listed in the top 100 schools in the world is encouraging as it reflects on the quality and recognition of The Copenhagen MBA programme, students and alumni.”

The Copenhagen MBA is the only school from the Nordic countries to be included and performs notably well for a small programme in the category student diversity. The current Copenhagen MBA class features 35 talented individuals representing 20 nationalities. There are several sub categories to the overall ranking, among which post-MBA salary where the programme features in the top-50 range.
