Financial Times Rankings : HEC Paris #1 Business School in Europe

Just in time for the school’s 140th birthday, the latest Financial Times classification for European business schools awards HEC Paris once again with the #1 Business School in Europe. 

Ranking Financial Times 2021 - #1 Business School in Europe

HEC Paris maintains the #1 spot in The Financial Times rankings for the third consecutive year

This latest classification is based on schools' position in five main rankings: MBA, Executive MBA, Masters in Management and the two rankings for Executive Education (Customs and Open), and is published each December. The news takes into account high performance across the board in rankings reflecting factors including graduate outcomes, including salary and career progress, as well as factors such as quality of research and international and gender diversity of students, faculty and school governing bodies.

This ranking, which is the result of an enormous amount of work by our teams and our faculty, is an important recognition of HEC Paris’ continuous commitment to being a world leader in teaching and research.
