On Monday, 1 December, the Financial Times released its 2025 ranking of the 100 best European business schools. For the first time, SKEMA Business School has entered the Top 20, ranking 16th. With a rise of 10 places compared with 2024 and 55 places compared with 2023, the school not only posted the strongest progression within this year’s top 20, but also the most significant climb of any institution over the past two years.

A performance driven by programme excellence

The strong results achieved by SKEMA’s flagship programmes in the Financial Times rankings published throughout the year underpin this momentum:

The Financial Times European Business Schools ranking is a composite index combining five international rankings: MBA (25%), Executive MBA (25%), Master’s in Management (25%), and Executive Education programmes (“open”: 12.5% and “custom”: 12.5%).

 

A historic milestone for the school

According to Alice Guilhon, Dean and Executive President of SKEMA Business School, this achievement marks a decisive turning point: “This is both SKEMA’s best performance since the school was founded and the strongest progression of any institution over the past two years. Entering the Financial Times top 20 in Europe is a recognition of our multi-campus model and our strategy of skills hybridisation. It also highlights the daily commitment of our teams, faculty, students and alumni.”
