2 QS Global 200 Business Schools Report 2013/14

Follow us

This year’s QS Global 200 Business Schools report divides Europe’s top business schools into

four categories, based on their level of international employer recognition:

1. Elite global

Elite Global business schools form an established cadre of the world’s very best business

institutions. They are targeted by a wide range of employers, both domestically, regionally

and globally. Highly international, they typically admit only experienced candidates with

superior GMAT scores and all-round credentials. Their name will transform the resume of

any candidate. MBAs will in many cases go on to be influential business leaders, and can

expect to earn top salaries upon graduation.

INSEAD retains its position as the region’s number one institution ahead of London

Business School (LBS) his year. The two have a profile among international MBA

employers that far exceeds that of any other school in the region, and places themalongside Harvard Business School at the top of the global hierarchy.

Behind the top two there has been a shift in the hierarchy this year, with Spain’s IE

Business School and Oxford’s Said Business School moving up to third and fourth

respectively, and last year’s third-placed school IMD dropping to sixth.

The UK and Spain both have three Elite Global schools, ahead of Switzerland (2),

France (2), Denmark (1), Ireland (1) and Italy (1).

Students at INSEAD have the region’s highest average GMAT scores at 704, aheadof LBS and Oxford Said, both on 698. GMAT performance in the region lags

significantly behind North America. INSEAD is the only European school with an

average score of over 700, compared to 15 schools in North America.

Around 88.5% of MBAs from Elite Global schools in Europe are employed within

three months of graduating, a slightly better rate than the 85.4% achieved by those

in North America. Cambridge Judge Business School achieves a leading figure of

97%, alongside two Spanish schools: ESADE Business School and IESE Business

School, University of Navarra.

Average salaries

MBAs from Elite Global schools in Europe earn average salaries of US$107, 432, with average

bonuses of $15,551 taking the total average remuneration to US$122,983. This total falls just

of the North American figure of $123,239.

Perhaps predictably, the strongest average salaries earned by European MBAs are those from

Swiss school IMD (US$159,912), placing it number one in the world ahead of the US’s Stanford

Graduate School of Business (US$156,265). INSEAD (US$149, 500) is second in the region.

Only three of the 13 Elite Global schools in Europe have average base salaries below

US$100,000 per annum: ESASE Business School (US$90,400), SD Bocconi School of

Management (US$95,000), and Oxford Said (US$99,000). However, all three cross the six-figure

threshold once bonuses are included.

2. Emerging Global

Emerging Global business schools have an established reputation for excellence among

employers that stretches well beyond their region. They attract high-quality candidates from

all over the world, and graduates can expect to earn highly competitive salaries. Though in

many cases they are newer and not as firmly established as the ‘brand name’ institutions that

make up the Elite Global cluster, these institutions will in many cases aspire to break into the

Elite Global group in years to come.

3. Elite Regional

Elite Regional institutions are well regarded by employers within their region, and may

have started to develop a reputation further afield. Admitted students typically have

strong credentials, though they may be slightly less experienced on average than those atElite Global or Emerging Global institutions. Elite Regional institutions are often younger

institutions that, having established an excellent reputation among employers within their

region, will be looking to establish their brand as one with a truly global reach.

4. Emerging Regional

Emerging Regional institutions have established a solid reputation among employers

within their own country. They will appeal to candidates with fewer years of professional

experience, and graduate salaries are on average more modest than those at Elite Regional

institutions. Having established a good reputation among domestic employers, they will now

be looking to increase their visibility among international employers and students.
