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 two US business schools. The vast majority of top-ranked schools, including nine of the top 10 programs, were in Europe. 

However, Asian schools featured more heavily in this year’s ranking compared to previous years, with 11 Indian schools making the top 100 and one Chinese school reaching the top 10. 

Here are the 10 best Masters in Management in Europe in 2023, according to the FT ranking.
