The FT Master’s in Management ranking covers programmes worldwide and is based on data from schools and alumni three years after graduation, including salaries, career goals, and diversity. In 2023, the methodology was adjusted to give less weight to salaries and more to factors such as alumni networks.
Many at LUSEM are, of course, proud of this achievement – not least the programme director of the MSc in Strategic management at LUSEM, Ulf Ramberg.
“That we remain in the global top 50 on this ranking is, of course, a tremendous source of pride for the programme’s students, faculty, and for LUSEM. To achieve such strong results on the ranking criteria with only around 50 students per year over nine months is truly impressive,” says Ulf Ramberg.
He continues:
“Index measures can be tricky to interpret, but it is worth noting that all programmes ranked higher than ours are longer—often more than twice as long—and usually enroll several hundred, sometimes even thousands of students. Being number one on the “nine-month list” and top three in sustainability is especially rewarding. To me, this says everything about the abilities of our students and the impact, relationship-building, focus, and quality that they, together with the programme’s faculty and LUSEM’s corporate connections, create in the classroom.”
Congratulations and thanks to everyone who has made this programme so successful – and to all the alumni who took part in the survey!
According to the Financial Times Masters in Management ranking, LUSEM is also ranked third among the top business schools worldwide for its integration of environmental, social and governance (ESG) topics into core teaching.
