Rankings – Successful autumn for Frankfurt School

In September and October, Frankfurt School achieved very good results in two important global Financial Times (FT) university rankings, the FT Executive MBA and FT Master in Management Rankings 2022. Now, in November, the business school achieved its next top ranking, coming in first in Germany again in the latest Eduniversal Ranking. The ranking lists the 1,000 best business schools worldwide, among them 36 universities in Germany. With the top score of five Palmes of Excellence, Frankfurt School is one of the 100 “international business schools with strong global influence”, improving once again in the Deans' Recommendation Rate compared to the already very good result in 2021 to a recommendation rate of 29.5 percent (previous year 28,5 percent).

For the Eduniversal Ranking, an international scientific committee made up of Eduniversal executive members and independent experts in global higher education selects the best business schools from over 150 countries. Quantitative and qualitative criteria are used in the evaluation. Subsequently, the world's best 1,000 business schools are divided by country and given a rating of up to five palms. The evaluation is based on criteria such as accreditations, major rankings, memberships in academic or professional associations or partnerships. In a third step, the deans of the best national business schools give their recommendation for one of the universities.

Top rankings in 2022

In the Financial Times' global Master of Finance Ranking 2022 published in June, Frankfurt School ranked 27th. In addition, this year the Financial Times ranked the university's Master in Management 38th worldwide and the Executive MBA programme 62nd worldwide (4th in Germany). The Financial Times' Executive Education Ranking 2022 lists Frankfurt School in 49th place worldwide (3rd in Germany) in the combined ranking, comprising the results of custom-made programmes for corporate clients as well as the open executive education programmes.

Further excellent ranking results achieved by Frankfurt School in 2022 include the Wirtschaftswoche university ranking for business administration, in which it ranks 4th among German universities being the best private business school. In addition, in March 2022, Frankfurt School was named Germany's best university for auditors by Manager Magazin for the second time in a row.
