The Financial Times compiles its education rankings on the basis of its own surveys conducted in groups of graduates who graduated not later than three years after each survey. Among the 17 evaluation criteria taken into account by FT, one that is particularly worth mentioning is the progress the surveyed graduates make in their careers. In this respect, we perform very well, ranking 4th in the world.
The rankings feature also our foreign partners. One of them is ESCP Business School, the oldest business school in the world. Our joint Master in Management program ranked 6th in the world.

For a program to be ranked, strict requirements must be met. Full-time studies with an annual minimum of 30 graduates are considered, and the HEI that offers the program must be accredited by AACSB or EQUIS. The highest-weighted evaluation criterion is the earnings of the graduates.
