EDHEC ranked 14th in Bloomberg’s Best Business Schools in Europe & the Middle East
EDHEC Business School’s Global MBA has been ranked 14th overall among European and Middle Eastern business schools in Bloomberg’s latest Best Business Schools ranking.
The Bloomberg ranking evaluates full-time MBA programmes across four key indexes: Compensation, Learning, Networking, and Entrepreneurship.
EDHEC’s Global MBA progressed one place in the ranking and achieved strong results, placing 12th in Compensation and 13th in Entrepreneurship. These results are based on MBA student and alumni surveys.
Bloomberg’s Compensation index goes beyond salary alone, taking into account factors including post-MBA pay, employment rates, the proportion of graduates receiving bonuses and bonus levels.
The strong Entrepreneurship result reflects the EDHEC Global MBA’s commitment to developing entrepreneurial mindsets and giving participants opportunities to turn ideas into action. Entrepreneurship is one of the programme’s four specialisation tracks. The track gives participants the opportunity to deepen their understanding of entrepreneurial strategy, innovation and, the development of new ventures.
The entrepreneurial experience goes beyond the classroom through its partnership with Plug and Play. Selected Global MBA participants can gain first-hand exposure to the venture capital ecosystem, working as investment analysts and benefiting from career coaching from industry experts. The programme also connects students with a strong entrepreneurial ecosystem, including a network of entrepreneurs, experts and, mentors through EDHEC Entrepreneurs. The GMBA also ranks second in the world in Poets&Quants’ 2026 ranking of the Best MBA Programs for Entrepreneurship, confirming its strong entrepreneurial DNA.
This approach is complemented by EDHEC’s Responsible Entrepreneurship by Design (RED) methodology, which encourages entrepreneurs to integrate sustainability considerations into their ventures from the earliest stages of development.
This latest Bloomberg ranking highlights the strength of a programme that combines career performance, entrepreneurial opportunity and, responsible leadership.
“Being recognised among the leading business schools in Europe and the Middle East, with particularly strong results in Compensation and Entrepreneurship, reflects the strength of the EDHEC Global MBA experience. We are proud to see our entrepreneurial approach recognised, as we strive to equip participants with the mindset, skills and opportunities to turn ideas into action and create meaningful, lasting impact,” says Sandra Richez, EDHEC Global MBA programme director.
