International rankings

Reflecting the quality of our programmes, international rankings have also recognised the value of our progress.
Over the past two years, we have recorded improvements across all major rankings: advances in the Executive MBA (+21 positions in the FT ranking), in the Global MBA (+7 global positions in the QS ranking), in the International Full-Time MBA (12th in Europe in the Bloomberg ranking), and an especially notable result for the new i-Flex Online MBA, now 6th in Europe according to the Financial Times.
At the same time, in the Financial Times European Business School rankings, we are now placed first among business schools affiliated with technical universities in Europe.

Positive Impact Through Education Strategic Plan

In 2024–2025, the School exceeded the targets set by the Strategic Plan:

11,305 people trained on innovation for sustainability and positive impact;
over 1.3 million people reached and inspired through our content on these topics;
more than €6 million mobilised for projects and initiatives designed to generate positive impact through education.

These results go beyond traditional training and position the School among the most active actors in Europe in the field of managerial education with a focus on positive impact.

These achievements were made possible thanks to the contribution of our entire Community: students, alumni, partners, institutions, and staff. Our heartfelt thanks go to each and every one of you for sharing this journey of growth and transformation with us.

We will continue working together to build a School that is increasingly open, innovative, and future-oriented.
