Saying business school is a man's world isn't a fallacy. More to the point, we were concerned to learn recently that the MBA sex life is perhaps not all that it could be. This week, we're helping out the guys by bringing you the latest stats on where to find women at business school. We can't vouch for the relative attractiveness of the samples, but we'll be investigating this so watch this space.

As the FT's MBA Ranking shows, no MBA program in the world manages to have more women students than men. In fact, the percentage of female students at most of the world's top 100 MBA programs is below 40 per cent. Boston University School of Management leads the field with 45 per cent women MBAs, with NYU Stern not far behind at 41 per cent.

There are fewer female students at reputable European b-schools: a little over a third at Spain’s top school, the Instituto Empresa. The London Business School, the world's top MBA program, has a male:female ratio of 4:1. And if you want to meet girls, don’t head for the southern hemisphere, where the Australian School of Business failed to recruit even one female out of every five students: only 19 per cent of students on the MBA program were women in 2008.
