The Copenhagen MBA ranked #26 in the 2018 Global MBA Ranking by QS

CBS Full-Time MBA is ranked #26 globally and #13 in Europe in the new MBA ranking by QS. The ranking highlights the best MBA programs across the world, using data from three surveys: the QS Global Employer Survey, the QS Global Academic Survey and a survey completed by participating business schools. A total of 232 business schools were considered for the ranking, of which 70 are from Europe.

The main component of the ranking is the Employability indicator, which is based on feedback from MBA employers as well as the employment rate for graduates three months after graduation. In this category, the Copenhagen MBA is ranked #26 globally and #13 in Europe.

Another area where CBS performs particularly well is in the Thought Leadership category with a global rank of #9 and regional rank of #5. This score is based on responses from academics from around the world, who elect which institutions they believe are the strongest in their subject area. Aspects like research impact and the percentage of faculty with a PhD are also considered for this category.
