Cranfield School of Management has secured the 8th position in the UK and 82nd globally in the prestigious 2025 Financial Times Global MBA Ranking. The ranking reaffirms Cranfield’s reputation as a leading business school in the country, despite the growing competition from new entrants.

The United States dominated the rankings, with Wharton and Columbia Business School taking the top two spots. However, Cranfield performed exceptionally well within the UK, maintaining its strong standing in business education.

Strong Industry Links and Career Progression

Professor Leila Alinaghian, Director of the Full-time MBA, highlighted the school’s commitment to student success. She stated, “The Cranfield MBA continues to make a positive impact on our students. Our strong industry connections provide real-world experiences and invaluable networks, putting career development at the forefront of our programme.”

Cranfield School of Management achieved remarkable milestones:

  • Number 1 in Europe for career progression
  • Top 10 in Europe for value for money
  • Third in the UK for female faculty and sector diversity

Despite an increasingly competitive landscape with 11 new schools entering the ranking, Cranfield has remained firmly in the UK’s top 10 and the global top 100. The school recently relaunched its MBA as The Transformation MBA, which includes a month-long study abroad experience at partner university ESCP.

New Leadership at Cranfield

In another major development, Professor Lynette Ryals OBE has been appointed Deputy Vice-Chancellor – Faculty of Business and Management at Cranfield University, effective March 3, 2025. She expressed her enthusiasm for the role, stating, “I’m excited to build on the great work of the team and the progress made under David Oglethorpe’s leadership.”

Cranfield’s latest ranking performance further cements its position as a top business school in the UK, offering world-class education and industry-aligned learning experiences.
