Once again, SDA Bocconi secures a leading position in global rankings, reaffirming its place among the world’s top business schools in the Financial Times Global MBA 2025 Ranking. Its Full-Time MBA ranks 4th globally, tied with INSEAD, and 2nd in Europe. This outstanding achievement once again underscores the School’s excellence in international managerial education.

The Financial Times ranking evaluates multiple parameters, including alumni career progression, teaching quality, and the international scope of the learning experience. SDA Bocconi particularly stands out in three key areas that reinforce its position at the top: return on investment for participants, the international profile of the classroom, and a strong commitment to sustainability. In this regard, the School ranks 1st globally for Carbon Footprint, distinguishing itself as the most sustainable campus in the world.

"Celebrating a breakthrough is great, but celebrating a confirmation is even better," says Stefano Caselli, Dean of SDA Bocconi School of Management. "With this year's result, SDA Bocconi School of Management firmly establishes itself among the top 5 MBAs in the world and the top 3 in Europe. Moreover, it achieves this by excelling in the parameters that best reflect its core values. The numbers show that the MBA experience at SDA Bocconi has a profound transformative impact on both the careers and lives of its participants."

A result that reaffirms the value of the School's educational model, as emphasized by Stefano Pogutz, MBA Director: "The idea of working alongside our students, preparing them for tomorrow’s challenges by building an excellent learning journey that integrates fundamental skills in management, finance, and economics with key topics such as innovation, entrepreneurship, leadership, and sustainability, has proven to be a winning approach."

This milestone is a testament to SDA Bocconi’s ongoing journey toward ever-higher standards of academic quality, teaching innovation, and career impact for its students. The Financial Times recognition is also the result of the vision and leadership of Associate Dean for the Master Division, Enzo Baglieri, who has played a decisive role in the growth and success of the division—and, consequently, of the MBA program.

For the School’s faculty and staff, this ranking is a recognition of their unwavering dedication to designing learning experiences that align with market demands and participants’ expectations. For those who choose the SDA Bocconi Full-Time MBA, it means joining a highly selective international community with access to a global alumni network and top-tier career opportunities.
