As you digest these results, and their potential impact on deciding where to apply for your MBA, view my related article in Forbes, which offers additional analysis and explores why so many candidates are purusing business school in Europe.

Methodology

The idea of the Fortuna Ranking of MBA Rankings is to compare the performance of schools in multiple rankings, featuring schools who appeared in at least three of the four major MBA rankings in the past 12 months. Therefore, it does not include the many good European business schools that appear in fewer than three rankings.

Candidates should remember that this is not scientific approach, and there is no attempt to give greater weight to one ranking over another. As stated before, each ranking uses a different methodology and measures different things with the inherent limitations of each assessment, so doing particularly well in one ranking and less well in another is reflected in the overall average score.

We have compiled the Fortuna Ranking of MBA Rankings since 2011 to show how the top business schools perform across all of the major MBA rankings.

Matt Symonds is Co-founder and Director of Fortuna Admissions and co-organizer of the CentreCourt MBA Festival with Poets & Quants. The CentreCourt MBA Festival in London coming up on April 25th 2020 will bring together most of the top European business schools to meet with potential applicants.
