POLIMI Graduate School of Management ranks among the Top 20 Business Schools in Europe according to the LinkedIn Top MBA Ranking

Turning talent into global leadership and generating a positive impact in the world: this is the vision that drives POLIMI Graduate School of Management, now confirmed among the top international business schools. For the second consecutive year, our School has secured a place in the Top 20 in Europe in the LinkedIn Top MBA Programs 2025 ranking - a result that strengthens the credibility of our MBA programmes and highlights the tangible influence of our alumni in the global job market.

The LinkedIn ranking stands out for its purely data-driven approach: it analyses millions of professional profiles to assess the career outcomes of MBA alumni, without relying on statements from schools or graduates themselves.

The evaluation considers several key aspects. First and foremost, it looks at job opportunities and the demand for talent trained by business schools between 2019 and 2024. It also assesses the career growth of alumni, measuring how quickly they reach leadership roles.

Another crucial factor is the strength of the network: the ranking analyses the quality and depth of connections among alumni and the growth of the network from the first day of the programme. It also considers leadership potential, that is, how many go on to pursue C-Suite careers or become entrepreneurs capable of generating tangible impact within their organisations.

Lastly, diversity plays a central role, with a focus on gender parity in classrooms, which is essential for fostering inclusive and sustainable leadership.

This recognition fully reflects the School’s mission: to train leaders who excel professionally while creating value for organisations and society. The position achieved in the LinkedIn ranking confirms the effectiveness of an educational approach that integrates managerial skills, innovation, high-level networking, and Purpose.

“Being included in the annual LinkedIn Top MBA Programs ranking for the second year in a row is an extraordinary recognition for our School: it celebrates not only the excellence of our programmes but also the growth journey and achievements of our students,” comments Federico Frattini, Dean of POLIMI Graduate School of Management. “Our mission is to train leaders capable of generating positive and sustainable impact - professionals who build meaningful and lasting careers thanks to the skills acquired, the networks developed, and the opportunities encountered along the way. This result confirms that our MBA prepares students to transform talent and determination into concrete outcomes, guided by Purpose, innovation, and conscious leadership.”

“The LinkedIn Top MBA ranking highlights the schools whose alumni succeed in building meaningful and lasting careers, thanks to the skills, networks, and opportunities gained during the programme. The ranking is designed as a practical guide for those considering an MBA, offering a data-based overview of professional outcomes and how alumni develop their careers after graduation,” comments Laura Lorenzetti, Executive Editor at LinkedIn.
