The Financial Times masters in management ranking, now in its eighth year, remains in 2012 a European-dominated affair topped by a Swiss school and populated principally by French and British rivals.
The ranking is based on a survey of business schools and their alumni who graduated in 2009, with criteria ranging from diversity to alumni career progression and international exposure.
The University of St Gallen retains the top spot, scoring highly in all criteria. St Gallen’s alumni boast among the highest salaries three years after graduation, the highest achievement rate and a broad international experience. The school offers the best value for money and is ranked second for the effectiveness of its career service.
