27 June 2019

BI’s Master of Science in Business gets top score on diversity of recruiters in the latest ranking from The Economist of the 40 best ‘Masters in Management’ programmes in the world. The school’s programme places 26th, well ahead of a number of other master programmes from top international universities and business schools.

This is the second time The Economist ranks BI’s Master of Science in Business programme. HEC School of Management is also ranked as number one this year, followed by University of St. Gallen and SKEMA Business School.

“BI’s Master of Science in Business is internationally orientated and combines academic expertise and practical orientation to make sure our students are well equipped to face a rapidly changing job market. Both businesses and the public sector request candidates that have the skills to solve complex tasks through critical thinking and an opportunistic mind set,“ says Inge Jan Henjesand, President at BI Norwegian Business School.Inge jan Henjesand 1111

BI’s MSc in Business are also seen as one of the best in terms of employability, measured as the percentage of students working three months after graduation. BI’s job market survey 2019 shows that as many as 96,5 percent of all MSc in Business students were working full time six months after graduation.

The Economist’ Masters in Management ranking is based on 25 different indicators scored from 1 to 40, where 1 is seen as the best. In addition to “diversity of recruiters” and “employability” the programmes are ranked by “culture of class and classmates”, “educational experience”, “faculty quality”, “potential to network” and “salary” to mention a few.

“With this many indicators used to rank the different programmes, it also reflects the diversity and the academic recognition that comes with this programme. The results are of great importance to our international reputation and the recruitment of talented students and faculty, as well as attracting business partners,“ says Henjesand.Campus Oslo sommerbilder 47
