Aalto ranked second in the Nordic Business Schools

School of Business placed 29th in the ‘Financial Times European Business Schools Ranking 2014’.

The Aalto University School of Business was placed 29th in the European Business Schools Ranking 2014 published by the Financial Times newspaper.

The ranking lists the top 80 business schools in Europe. The ranking criteria used include the career and salary development of the graduates and overall international dimension of the teaching. Aalto remains ranked second in the Nordic comparison.

The alumni play an important part in the ranking, as the questionnaire is sent three years after graduation. ’Thanks to our 2011 graduates for the positive ranking result’, says Dean Ingmar Björkman.

For the first time another Finnish School is on the list, Svenska handelshögskolan placed 80th.

The ranking position is a round-up of the earlier rankings. The European Business Schools Ranking 2014 by the Financial Times was published on 1 December 2014.

The Aalto Executive MBA program improved its position in the Financial Times' annual ranking in October. In a global comparison, Aalto EMBA ranked 83rd (85th in 2013).
