The Financial Times published the ranking that ranks 80 World best management studies on September 14th 2015. Among them are two master’s programs from Poland: Kozminski University (42. place, the highest place among business schools from Central Europe) and Warsaw School of Economics (75. place).
The frontrunners of the ranking and the winner of the last three editions are: the University of St. Gallen (Switzerland), the French HEC Paris and Essec Business School (second and third place – for the second time), the international program CEMS (fourth), and further on the list: the Rotterdam School of Management (Erasmus University), London Business School and ESCP Europe (in Paris).
According to the "Financial Times" ranking, the best management master's programs can be found mainly in Western Europe: Switzerland, France, Great Britain and the Netherlands, also in Germany, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Belgium, Denmark and Austria. Recently, Indian and Chinese universities have gained higher positions in the ranking. It is noteworthy that three business schools from India placed 15, 16 and 26 respectively. The absence of universities from the USA in the ranking is a result of a different educational model, in which there is no management master's degree, and mostly they are full time MBA, rated by " FT "in a separate ranking.
Among the business schools from central and eastern Europe Kozminski University was ranked as the highest (place 42), which has remained remains one of the leading programs for several years (previous ranking was 35th). Apart from Kozminski University (KU) there were other East European universities among the 80 classified graduate management programs e.g. Corvinus University of Budapest (68th place), University of Economics in Prague (72) and the Warsaw School of Economics (75).
