EDHEC Global MBA Earns Recognition in Top European and Global Rankings | EDHEC Business School
In recent rankings releases, the EDHEC Global MBA stood out for its personalised experience, supporting career transformation and growth with strong ROI, dedicated coaching, and a close-knit community.
EDHEC Business School's Global MBA stands out in various categories according to latest MBA rankings from Quacquarelli Symonds (QS), Bloomberg, and LinkedIn.
With the release of this year’s QS MBA rankings, EDHEC’s Global MBA comes in at 49th in the world.
The programme ranks 18th in Europe, aligning with Bloomberg’s recent assessment, which also places the EDHEC Global MBA at 18th in the region. This alignment across the prestigious rankings is a testament to the programme’s performance in ROI and career mobility, as its alumni develop their international careers and make an impact across various sectors and geographies.
EDHEC Global MBA: among the world’s top MBA programmes for return on investment
EDHEC's commitment to providing impact and value for alumni has once again been recognised as one of the best in the world according to QS's Return on Investment (ROI) rankings.
According to the QS methodology, the ROI ranking evaluates key financial factors such as tuition costs, living expenses, opportunity costs, and post-MBA salary potential over a 10-year period. EDHEC’s Global MBA boasts an exceptional payback period of as once again just 20 months—well under two years. This quick return on investment sets it apart from other MBA programmes, making it an attractive option for prospective students who are seeking both quality education and financial efficiency.
The programme’s ROI score of 98% far exceeds the global average of 61.5%, affirming EDHEC’s focus on delivering not just academic excellence but also consequential career benefits for its graduates.
EDHEC GMBA Employability: a key strength
One of the pillars of the EDHEC Global MBA’s success is its strong track record in accelerating its participants’ international ambitions.
With 94% of GMBA participants securing new roles within three months of graduation, QS found the programme stands out for its ability to help graduates transition smoothly into new, high-impact international careers.
Much of this success is underpinned by the programme’s dedicated career services team. Thanks to initiatives like Lead360, a comprehensive leadership and professional development track woven throughout the programme crafted to encourage participants to question, challenge, and explore every facet of their personal growth, career progression, and leadership potential.
This, in combination with the GMBA’s CareerSmart programme, which helps candidates identify their key strengths and plan-out the steps to take towards a chosen career path, and a curriculum that blends academic excellence with applied learning enables participants to attain the professional transformation they seek during and after the programme.
Indeed, with such an emphasis on career transformation, it should come as no surprise that some 77% of EDHEC GMBA’s most recent alumni have changed their function.
Alumna Yidan Tu, an IT Project Manager for a health regulator in Canada, attests how she achieved a significant career pivot in part thanks to these initiatives: “this role is very different from what I did before my MBA - in terms of function, industry and location, all have changed. Even compared to my first job after the MBA, it was a big shift. I think the MBA has trained me to be a fast learner and be very flexible and adaptable to new challenges,” she says.
