How do you choose the university for your future MBA? Rankings give you a good overview, and CBS does well in the latest rankings by institutions such as the Financial Times, The Economist and Bloomberg Businessweek.
For the first time in several years, CBS is featured on The Economist’s list of the best full-time MBA programmes in the world. CBS is in the 95th place.
“The FT European Business School Ranking 2016” from the Financial Times ranks CBS in 35th place in Europe, based on the quality and breadth of its programmes in 2016. That is at the same level as the previous year, which saw CBS take 34th place. The “Bloomberg Businessweek’s International Full-time MBA Ranking 2016”, sees CBS go up a notch to 27th place compared to the previous year.
According to Poul Hedegaard, Director of the MBA programme at CBS, these rankings play a very important part in a global market:
“Rankings are important, as they are used by prospective students to compare various MBA programmes and in general as information guides in their effort to choose the right MBA programme. MBA rankings are also an important branding tool for any Business School operating on the global scene. We are very pleased that CBS MBA programmes are recognised as being among the very best in the world, and we will continue to deliver MBA education of the very highest quality.”
CBS has chosen to focus on the three largest and most influential rankings in the world, namely those of the Financial Times, The Economist and Bloomberg Businessweek.
CBS is also a part of “Corporate Knights Magazine – Better World MBA”, which focuses on how MBA programmes worldwide integrate sustainability and CSR in their research and education. Here, CBS is ranked 4th compared to 3rd place last year. The drop is a result of the fact that there are more schools focusing on the area, and is not the result of a change in CBS’ approach to the topic.
Top reputation
CBS in general has also been under evaluation. This year, deans representing 1,000 business schools from all over the world judged that CBS’ reputation is top notch. In 2016, CBS was awarded first place in Eduniversal’s ranking for both the world and Western Europe. In Western Europe, INSEAD is hot on the heels of CBS in second place, while London Business School and the SDA Bocconi School of Management shares third place.
Eduniversal is divided into 9 geographical areas, and CBS got the largest number of votes worldwide, followed by Harvard Business School and INSEAD.
Eduniversal bases its ranking on reputation. Deans of business schools worldwide were asked about which schools are recommendable. 629 out of 1,000 respondents recommended CBS as place of study.
