The ranking lists the top 80 business schools in Europe. Last year, the School of Business was placed 22nd in a league table of 75 business schools.
The Aalto University School of Business remains the only Finnish business school on the list. The Stockholm School of Economics, which was placed 20th, was the only Nordic business school ranked higher than the Aalto University School of Business.
The ranking criteria used include the career and salary development of the graduates and overall international dimension of the teaching.
‘We are very pleased that the School of Business was able to improve its position in this year’s ranking. We will continue to focus on ensuring that we will remain in the top group of European and international business schools,’ says Ingmar Björkman, Dean of the Aalto University School of Business, commenting on the results.
The IE Business School in Spain took the top spot, with HEC Paris in France coming second.
