The top 10 business schools in Europe to get an MBA in 2020

Last update: 13 April 2020

An MBA from a top European business school can help you take the next step in your career and achieve the goals you have set for yourself. The choice does not come easy, though, because getting an MBA can be very expensive, with high tuition fees at the best schools.

That is why you should do research before you choose which MBA programmes you should apply for. One important thing to look for are academic accreditations by organisations like AACSB, AMBA and EQUIS. Rankings are another helpful resource to make your decision easier. The two most respected rankings are provided annually by the Financial Times and by the Economist.

Learn more about the top MBA programs at business schools in Europe, according to the Economist “Which MBA?” Ranking 2018 and the FT Global MBA Ranking 2019:

The top 10 MBA programmes in Europe - Economist

Like FT, the Economist ranks business schools every year. They also survey graduates; salary development plays a smaller role than in the FT ranking, but is still important. The larger focus is put on the academic and student life experience as well as how graduates thought the MBA degree enabled them to pursue the career options they were hoping to get.

Although there are differences in the methodology, and handful of top schools are found near the top in both MBA rankings:
