Monti effect also on the Bocconi? That the (resigning) president of Italy's most prestigious university is a guarantee of success and international prestige, never as in this period, is a truth. But, paradoxically aside, the fact is that Bocconi has climbed as many as 10 positions in the most rigorous ranking of all, those drawn up by the Financial Times, which now sees it in seventh place among European business schools.
In the ranking FT European Business Schools 2011, is now tied in 7th place with Esade and Rotterdam, and leapfrogging, among others, Oxford University's Saïd Business School, Essec and London's Cass Business School. In first place is HEC Paris ahead of Insead and the London Business School.
The result was possible above all thanks to the performance of SDA Bocconi. In 2011 the SDA MBA ranked 10th in Europe and the Executive MBA debuted its ranking at 28th place. In the Executive Education ranking, SDA placed 12th for open programs and 15th for tailor-made ones. Bocconi was also ranked 24th in Europe in the Masters in Management ranking. And there is also an absolute record: this year the MBA of SDA, the only Italian school present in all the most important international rankings, was placed 1st in the world for return on investment in the Bloomberg Businessweek ranking and 4th among business schools outside the US in the Forbes ranking for return on investment. In the QS World University ranking 2011, Bocconi was ranked 15th in the world for the reputation of its graduates, 26th in the world for finance and accounting and 29th for economics.
“It is a result that confirms the high quality of our programs at all levels, pre and post-experience, and which we have achieved thanks to the important efforts we have put in place to strengthen internationalization and to attract talent from all over the world. world,” he explains Guido Tabellini, rector of Bocconi. “An effort that has seen, for example, the arrival at Bocconi of 27 professors with a high international curriculum just in the last two years, in addition to the entry this year of Nobel Prize winner Michael Spence into the SDA faculty.”
“Gaining positions in this prestigious ranking for the third consecutive year confirms the solidity of our work in terms of internationalization and relations with the world of work,” he explains Alberto Grando, Dean of SDA Bocconi. “These results testify that our graduates are highly appreciated by recruiters who reward them in terms of career advancement.”
