POLIMI Graduate School of Management has secured recognition in both the LinkedIn Top MBA Programs and QS global rankings, with its full-time MBA, International Flex MBA and specialist master’s degrees climbing the tables to place the Milan-based school among Europe’s leading business education institutions

POLIMI Graduate School of Management has been recognised among the world’s top business schools, with strong performances in both the LinkedIn Top MBA Programs 2025 ranking and the QS Business Master’s and Online MBA Rankings 2026.

For the second consecutive year, the Milan-based school has been ranked in LinkedIn’s top 20 business schools in Europe. 

The LinkedIn table, which draws on millions of professional profiles, assesses alumni career outcomes including job opportunities, leadership progression, network strength, entrepreneurship and diversity.

Dean Federico Frattini said: “Being included in the LinkedIn Top MBA Programs ranking for the second year in a row is an extraordinary recognition for our School. It celebrates not only the excellence of our programs but also the growth journey and achievements of our students. Our mission is to train leaders capable of generating positive and sustainable impact — professionals who build meaningful and lasting careers thanks to the skills acquired, the networks developed, and the opportunities encountered along the way.”

In QS’s latest rankings, which evaluated more than 1,300 programmes worldwide, the school’s full-time MBA climbed seven places to 65th globally and now ranks 25th in Europe. 

Its International Flex MBA was placed among the top 15 worldwide and sixth in the Europe, Middle East and Africa region, scoring highly for faculty and teaching as well as class experience. The International Master in Digital Supply Chain Management was ranked 11th globally and fifth for employability.

“Being consistently recognised among the best business schools in Europe and worldwide is a source of pride and motivation,” Frattini added. “These results prove the value of an approach that combines academic excellence, industry relevance, and tangible returns for our students’ futures.”
