Business School, Escp and Polimi in Ft. Top 100. No Bocconi

Looking at the ranking of the world's best business schools drawn up each year by the Financial Times, the surprise is that for 2026 Sda Bocconi is not among the top one hundred. An even more noisy absence considering the fourth place in 2025 and in general a stable position among the excellences of recent years.

Actually, the reason for this is technical: an issue related to the threshold of responses to the alumni questionnaire provided by the ranking.

As a result, Italia appears only twice in the British newspaper's ranking, with Turin and Milan. In 22nd place in the top 100 is the Escp Business School, which improves its placing by six positions, and in 90th place the Polimi School of Management.

The former is a French business school with several locations in Europe. Not only Turin, but also Berlin, London, Madrid and Paris, where students can alternate their studies. 22nd place, says Léon Laulusa, Executive president and Dean of the Escp Business School, "reflects our long-standing commitment to academic excellence, international collaboration and responsible leadership".

The Financial Times not only gives a generic ranking, but also several by sector. And Escp excels in some. In particular in the 'international course experience rank', where it is in the lead. This is followed by excellent results in terms of dsustainability, ranking fourth for ESg and net zero teaching, and for value for money, with fifth place overall. To add to the fact that, according to Ft, 100% of Mba graduates found employment within three months of graduating.
