Recently, the Financial Times announced it’s rankings of the Top Ten Full-Time European MBA programs. In addition, they also noted a number have schools have made changes to the program in order to cope with the global economic crisis. Most notable among these changes was the closure of the Stockholm School of Economics two year MBA program, leaving on two full time MBA options in Scandinavia; as well as two Norwegian schools (Nyenrode Business Universiteit, and BI Norwegian School of Management) that have suspended their MBA programs. Other schools have faced the lean economic times by merging; like Ceram Business School, which joined ESC Lille to form Skema this past summer.
After the dust settled, here is how the ranking of the top European B-schools came down:
The Top Ten European MBA Programs 2009
- HEC Paris (France)
- London Business School (UK)
- INSEAD (France/Singapore)
- IMD (Switzerland)
- IE Business School (Spain)
- IESE Business School (Spain)
- Rotterdam School of Management/Erasmus University (Netherlands)
- EM Lyon Business School (France)

- Vlerick Leuven Gent Management School (Belgium)
And remember, according to the AMBA’s Economic Downturn Survey, most of the top B-schools reported a 20% increase in applications, so competition for the top spot is even more fierce than ever.
