December 23, 2023. Shanghai – In the latest International MBA Ranking released by the business school resource Poets & Quants, listing the best MBA programmes taught outside the United States, CEIBS has secured the notable rank of fifth-best in the world. This represents a climb of nine places higher than in the 2022 ranking and also represents the highest rank ever awarded by Poets & Quants to an Asian business school.

Poets & Quants is an influential resource for information on business schools and MBA programmes, having proven to be a reliable source on developments in business education for a large global audience of students, alumni, professors, and business leaders. Their International MBA Ranking aims to fairly rank the finest MBA programmes to be taught around the world outside the United States.

The ranking is decided by creating a composite of the world’s two most important MBA rankings, those released by the Financial Times and Bloomberg Businessweek, using a wealth of data to create a list that Poets & Quants asserts is more authoritative and accurate. CEIBS is joined in the top five by world-leading business schools INSEAD, IESE, SDA Bocconi, and London Business School.

CEIBS’ respectable performance in the ranking demonstrates consistent year-on-year improvement and a positive step for Asian business schools in general, reflecting the value of business education institutions that offer a unique international perspective.
