While its big brother, the MBA, began in the US, the Master in Management originated in Europe. Since its inception, European business schools have dominated Master in Management rankings. 

If you’re considering applying for a top MiM program in 2023, it’s the same story. 

The most recent Financial Times ranking of the top 100 MiM programs worldwide included just three US business schools and seven schools in Asia. The vast majority of top-ranked schools, including all of the top ten programs were in Europe. 

Here are the 10 best Masters in Management in Europe in 2022, according to the FT ranking.
