Program by program

One school, one program, its requirements.

An editorial selection of leading international business schools and regional benchmarks: MBA, Executive MBA, and master’s programs in management, finance, business analytics, and strategy. From the Americas to Oceania, across Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia, Financial Times and QS rankings provide global and regional reference points. This selection is not exhaustive; programs are grouped by category and reference ranking on the Schools page. Each program links to an official admissions source; requirements vary by route and applicant profile.

Order and reference rankings

In each view, programs are grouped by category, then sorted by ascending world rank in the named ranking. Ties are broken alphabetically. Programs without a documented rank appear at the end of their category, by school and then program.

The rangs of different categories are not comparable. For strategy, QS ranks the university within the subject, not the degree. The references below follow the category order; they were accessed on October 5, 2026.

One card per program, so a school may appear more than once. An accepted test is not always required; notes identify documented alternatives and waivers. Admissions pages reviewed on October 5, 2026.

Dots mark the reference cities for programs in the selected view. A dot may represent several schools. A multi-campus program is counted once.
