Poets&Quants’ 2025-2026 International MBA Ranking

Europe’s domination continues: INSEAD, IESE, LBS & Bocconi repeat as the top 4 while CEIBS, last year’s No. 9, falls 20 spots

Alliance Manchester Business School is No. 26 in P&Q‘s international MBA ranking for a second straight year

The Definitive List Of The Top 50 International MBA Programs of 2025-2026 — 26 to 50

The annual Poets&Quants’ MBA ranking takes the three most credible global lists from The Financial Times, Bloomberg Businessweek and LinkedIn, following the discontinuation of MBA rankings by The Economist and Forbes. The ranking combines these three using weights based on the soundness and importance to prospective students of each publication’s methodology. Bringing them together this way diminishes the anomalies that often crop up in a given year and also gives applicants a better sense of an overall school’s reputation and brand value. This year’s 2025-2026 list gives a 60% weight to the FT ranking, a 20% weight to Bloomberg Businessweek and another 20% to LinkedIn’s MBA ranking.
