SDA Bocconi School of Management ranks second in Europe in Bloomberg Businessweek’s 2026 European Business Schools Ranking, confirming its position at the forefront of management education and its growing international recognition.

The ranking assesses different dimensions of the educational experience, from the quality of learning and professional development to networking opportunities and the ability to foster an entrepreneurial culture.

Bloomberg Businessweek evaluates schools across four dimensions — Compensation, Learning, Networking and Entrepreneurship — drawing on feedback from students, alumni and recruiters, alongside data provided directly by participating Business Schools.

“Being always among Europe’s leading Business Schools is an important recognition, and above all an incentive to look ahead,” says Stefano Caselli, Dean of SDA Bocconi School of Management. “At a time of profound transformation for the economy and companies, the role of a School of Management is to make a concrete contribution to growth and competitiveness. This means educating leaders capable of generating innovation, increasing productivity and guiding change, placing knowledge and skills at the service of businesses, institutions and society.”

SDA Bocconi’s position in the 2026 ranking reflects the growing international recognition of its approach to management education, grounded in the integration of research, educational innovation and an ongoing relationship with businesses and institutions.

This approach is supported by an international faculty, a global community of participants and alumni, and an ecosystem of relationships with organisations and companies around the world. Together, they contribute to preparing managers and leaders capable of understanding and guiding the transformations shaping the economy and society.

Second place in Bloomberg Businessweek’s 2026 ranking further recognises SDA Bocconi’s role among the leading Business Schools in Europe and worldwide.
