FT Executive Education Ranking 2025: POLIMI Graduate School of Management gains 12 positions in Executive Open programmes and consolidates its position in Custom projects

The business school of Politecnico di Milano among the best in the world in executive education according to the Financial Times

POLIMI Graduate School of Management – the business school that is part of the School of Management of Politecnico di Milano – confirms its position among the best business schools in the world also in the field of executive education. The Financial Times Executive Education Ranking 2025 places the School among the best in the world in both executive programme rankings: Open-enrolment and Custom.

What stands out above all is the result obtained in the Open programmes, where the School gains 12 positions compared to 2024, rising to 57th place out of 85 institutions evaluated globally. This progress reflects ongoing efforts to deliver innovative, practical learning pathways that are increasingly in line with the needs of managers and professionals. This value is also confirmed by the Overall Satisfaction rate, with which alumni evaluate their experience: POLIMI GSoM conquers the 15th place in the world, with a score of 9.67 out of 10, recording a leap of more than 45 positions compared to the previous year.

Also in the Custom ranking, which evaluates tailor-made programmes designed in collaboration with companies, POLIMI Graduate School of Management strengthens its international presence, positioning itself 67th out of 95 business schools in the world. This is an even more significant result given the growing number of institutions included in this year’s ranking.

As further confirmation of the quality and effectiveness of the programmes offered in the Custom segment, POLIMI Graduate School of Management distinguishes itself by the quality of the support provided to participants even after the end of the courses (37th place under the Follow-up heading), and because of the strong propensity of client companies to renew collaboration on the occasion of new programmes (Future Use, 39th place). There is also a significant improvement in the perception of the value of the educational experience - Value for Money - and the level of diversity of the faculty, resulting from a constant commitment to an increasingly international and inclusive environment.

"The results of the FT 2025 ranking confirms the quality and relevance of our executive training offer, both for individual professionals and for companies", commented Federico Frattini, Dean of POLIMI Graduate School of Management. “We are particularly proud of the jump in the Open ranking, the result of constant work on the front of educational innovation and personalisation of courses. At the same time, the consolidation in the Custom area  demonstrates our ability to design tailor-made, high-impact solutions, in an increasingly competitive context.”

With a stable presence in the main international rankings, POLIMI Graduate School of Management confirms itself as a reference point in management education, continuing to invest in innovation, internationalisation and value for people and organisations.
