Institutional 2 December 2024

The IQS School of Management has managed to consolidate its position as one of the top 100 business schools in Europe according to the Financial Times European Business Schools 2024 Ranking. This recognition highlights the institution’s commitment to academic excellence, innovation, and the positive impact it has on its students’ careers.

Among the indicators evaluated, one of the most outstanding aspects for IQS is the average salary increase (% Salary increase). This indicator measures the difference in the salaries of former students before and after completing their studies, taking into account a three-year period from the completion of their studies. IQS ranks as the third best school in Europe in this regard, a clear reflection of the added value that its training brings to the professional development of its graduates.

The ranking not only measures this parameter, but also comprehensively evaluates the quality and richness of the academic programmes offered by the participating universities. IQS demonstrates its ability to compete with the most prestigious institutions on the continent, reaffirming its place as an academic leader in the field of business.

Comprehensive analysis of academic performance

The Financial Times European Business Schools Ranking is widely recognized in academia as one of the most rigorous and comprehensive rankings. It is based on the combined performance of the main European schools in five specific rankings published throughout the year: MBA, EMBA, Master in Management, Open Executive Education, and Custom Programmes.

To calculate the position of each institution in this ranking, the Financial Times performs a weighted average on these specific rankings, ensuring a comprehensive and representative view of a university’s overall performance.

To be part of this select group of business schools, the Financial Times establishes an essential requirement: to have international accreditation from EQUIS or AACSB. These certifications ensure the highest standards of educational quality, ensuring that institutions meet rigorous criteria in areas such as innovation, academic impact, student employability, and sustainability.

The presence of IQS in the Financial Times European Business Schools 2024 Ranking reaffirms its commitment to preparing leaders who are capable of transforming society. This achievement highlights the institution’s ability to maintain standards of excellence, consolidating it as one of the most relevant business schools in Europe.
