For the 4th consecutive year, HEC Paris has topped the Financial Times overall ranking of European business schools, published on 7th December (70 business schools are listed). This ranking highlights the excellence of both degree programs and executive education at HEC Paris.

The overall ranking is a compilation of the 4 business education rankings that are published in the Financial Times every year: the MSc program (2nd worldwide, 1st ranked business school), the full-time MBA (29th worldwide), the Executive MBA (2nd worldwide) and Executive Education programs (2nd worldwide for custom programs).

This top spot reaffirms the exceptional success of HEC students thanks to the academic excellence of the faculty and the close links the school has with businesses. In only a few years, HEC Paris has become a world-renowned business school, offering more than 4,000 students a prestigious international career, as well as the choice between numerous double degrees in partnership with the best business schools from around the world. HEC’s position worldwide in the executive education rankings demonstrates the excellence and adequacy of its offer to corporate leaders, especially in custom programs.

« The presence in France of a business school with a global reputation greatly benefits the competitiveness of our country and constitutes a tremendous asset to our businesses. The result of the FT ranking boosts HEC’s ambition and highlights the exceptional performance of Dean Bernard Ramanantsoa and his entire team », adds Henri Proglio, Chairman of the HEC Paris Board.
