For the Financial Times, Made in Bocconi Managers Are Among the Best in the World
Bocconi continues to climb the rankings with a new acknowledgement of teaching quality and positive feedback for alumni on the international job market. The University moved up six spots in the 2013 ranking of Masters in Management, published today by the Financial Times, placing 17th worldwide. Bocconi is also in the ranking with CEMS, a program it was a founding member of, which placed 7th.
The program included in the ranking is the Master of Science in International Management, a two-year degree held in English, which was launched in 2006, debuting in the FT ranking in 2010 at 33rd place. Evaluations for the ranking are based on a series of criteria, including the international mobility of graduates, students' international experience during the Master of Science and alumni progress in terms of salary and career.
"Our Master in International Management's continuing progression in an extremely competitive ranking," says Stefano Caselli, Vice Rector for International Affairs at Bocconi, "is concrete recognition of the program's abilities to be a point of reference for attracting young talents in Europe, with a profile of quality, international importance and the success of alumni placement and career progression."
In the rankings based on alumni evaluating teaching, a criterion that is not used in the general ranking, Bocconi placed 10th for the quality of courses in both finance and marketing.
The result in the ranking for Masters in Management comes after good news for Bocconi during recent months, which also demonstrate approval from employers and the job market in general. In the QS World University Ranking 2013, published last week, Bocconi moved up 17 spots in the ranking of best universities for social sciences and management, placing 29th worldwide and 9th in Europe. In addition, the Bocconi Master of Science in Finance moved up 7 spots in the Financial Times ranking in June, placing 20th.
