FT European business schools 2021: Methodology and key

This is the 18th annual Fiscal Periods position of European small business colleges. It is a composite position centered on the merged performance of Europe’s primary colleges throughout the 5 main rankings of programmes released by the FT in 2021: MBA, Executive MBA, Masters in Administration (MiM) and in 2020 for the two rankings of non-diploma government training programmes as we did not run the Tailor made and Open rankings this 12 months. The On the internet MBA and Masters in Finance rankings are not provided.

The European faculty rank is calculated right after removing non-European colleges for each of these main rankings. MBA, EMBA and MiM account for 25 for each cent each of each school’s total performance. For Executive Instruction, the scores obtained for customised and open up programmes each account for 12.5 for each cent. Schools must have a bare minimum total fat of 25 out of a feasible one hundred for all 5 rankings to be suitable.

Educational institutions ranked with a joint programme receive a proportional share of the programme’s indexed score. For case in point, Essec will get 50 for each cent of the score obtained by its joint EMBA programme with Mannheim — really worth 12.5 for each cent of the feasible one hundred total fat.

The position measures the schools’ quality and breadth of programmes. Top quality is presented a better emphasis so that colleges giving significant-quality instruction but not furnishing all the distinctive classes deemed can still conduct strongly all round.

An indexed score is made for each position. These scores are then extra jointly, in accordance to the weighting previously mentioned, developing a merged total for each faculty, which comprises a single third of the final score. The remaining two-thirds is an ordinary score, derived by dividing the total score for each faculty by the variety of rankings in which it capabilities.

Scores are not simply centered on aggregation of released position positions. They are calculated using Z-scores — formulation that reflect the selection amongst the leading and bottom faculty — for the individual conditions that make up each element position. 

The next regulations are unique to the FT composite European position: 

• Programmes ranked outside the house the released tables for MBA, Executive Instruction, Masters in Administration and EMBA are taken into thing to consider. They are demonstrated with an asterisk.

• If a faculty has extra than a single programme in the exact position, a merged weighted score is awarded. HEC Paris receives 33 for each cent of the score obtained by the Trium International EMBA and the remaining sixty seven for each cent from its individual solitary programme.
