Vlerick Leuven Gent Management School makes big jumps in the rankings

09 Oct 2008

Two international rankings have placed the Master in General Management and MBA programme of Vlerick Leuven Gent Management School at a very different position. The Economist made the school progress from the 21st to the 14th position worldwide. This ranking is highly based on the experiences of the students. They are increasingly more excited about the education they
receive at Vlerick.

Unfortunately, the new rankings for the Master in Management programmes of the Financial Times, weren?t as positive as the ones for the MBA in the Economist. There we drop from 16th position to 27th. Vlerick Leuven Gent Management School scores lower than usual on salary levels and international mobility of the students.

"Peter Rafferty, Director International Business Development, comments: "Some rankings go up, some go down. But our quality is very stable. We do not wish to exaggerate the importance of the rankings or of a particular position in the list but we remain satisfied with our overall performance at the top in Europe and amongst the best programmes worldwide. We will continue our efforts to improve the quality of our programmes."
