This is the first time that CBS has taken the initiative to be assessed in this category. What does the ranking tell you? THE lists 200 leading universities in business and management, accounting and finance, and economics. CBS now ranks ahead of 170 other universities worldwide.

The rankings comprise large universities and business schools. At the top, in first and second place, are Stanford University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Only six European universities have been placed higher than CBS, and compared to other Scandinavian universities and business schools, CBS has done significantly better.

What does CBS do well? According to THE’s assessment CBS is particularly successful regarding three performance indicators: citations, international outlook and research, confirming that CBS is an international business university. Other areas that CBS excels at in the ranking include teaching and collaboration with business and industry. Combined, this highlights that CBS is among the best in the world.
