Financial Times Masters in Management ranking: SKEMA Business School enters the world’s Top 20

In the 2025 edition of the Financial Times Masters in Management ranking, SKEMA Business School has achieved a remarkable breakthrough, climbing 12 places to secure 18th position worldwide among the 100 institutions assessed.

A Global Strategy Delivering Results

This performance validates SKEMA’s global positioning, with ten campuses across seven countries: France, the United States, Brazil, China, South Africa, Canada, and the United Arab Emirates. The school places international experience at the heart of its differentiation strategy. This is proved by its 6th position worldwide for the international course experience criterion, which evaluates the quality and diversity of international study opportunities.

“This result confirms the relevance of our strategy and the uniqueness of our model. Providing our students with rich international experiences and a curriculum deeply committed to global

transitions and technological advances is at the very core of our mission,” says Alice Guilhon, Dean and Executive President of SKEMA Business School.

ESG as a key differentiator

Another standout achievement: SKEMA ranks 1st worldwide for teaching corporate social responsibility (CSR) and issues related to the ecological transition (ESG and net zero teaching criterion). This distinction reflects the school’s strong integration of environmental and societal challenges into its academic programmes.

Academic excellence at the core

The ranking recognises the quality of SKEMA’s faculty, the majority of whom hold PhDs and bring a strong international perspective. This high level of expertise strengthens both the school’s academic reputation and its continued rise in global rankings.
