Insead’s programme distinguished itself by its international experience and an average salary of about 167,000 dollar three years after graduation, nearly double (up 96 per cent) the pre-MBA remuneration and is ranked high for the topic “value for money”, writes the Financial Times.
The top six to ten are mainly made up of US-schools that still tend to be the strongest contenders in the rankings: Columbia Business School came in on number six, followed by Haas, Booth and Sloan. The tenth spot however went back to the UK with the University of Cambridge’s Judge Business School.
The highest ranked Spanish school was IE Business School at number 12, the Swiss school IMD made it to number 13 and the highest placed Chinese school on number 14 was HKUST Business School.
India’s best business school according to the FT is the Indian Institute of Management in Ahmedabad which was ranked on number 24, a steady improvement from the results in the past years. Italy’s SDA Bocconi followed on rank 25, the Dutch business school Rotterdam School of Management at the Erasmus University at number 42 and Germany’s best school was the Mannheim Business School (no 49) which still made it into the top 50.
Surprisingly neither Australia nor Canada were present in the top 50. Australia’s highest ranked school was the Macquarie Graduate School of Management on 56 and Canada’s Rotman dropped from 52 in the previous year to number 60.
An interesting contender was Ipade Business School in Mexico, which was ranked the 80th best business school in the world ahead of the other Latin American school Incae Business School. Ipade hadn’t made it into the top 100 in past years but managed to place again due to is exchange programmes at one of about 75 partner institutions worldwide and the offer of an international study trip which the school subsidises in parts.
