WHU Remains at the Top in Germany

The publication of the Financial Times 2024 European Business School Ranking brings good news for WHU – Otto Beisheim School of Management: The school has defended its positions as #1 in Germany and #16 across Europe for the second year in a row. These results serve as further proof that WHU offers education of the highest quality and a unique student experience for the next generation of leaders.

WHU’s position in this year’s edition of the ranking is the combined result of its programs’ individual performances: Several have maintained their presence in the overall Top 20, including the school’s Master in Management (#12), the joint Kellogg-WHU EMBA Program (#17), and the MBA Program (#19). Others, such as the Open and Customized Executive Education Programs, continue to be staples in the Top 40, coming in at #22 and #39 respectively.

“We’re thrilled that WHU has held on to its strong overall positions in this ranking. These results reaffirm our ability to provide our students and corporate partners both the tools and the environment they need to achieve their goals and become the responsible leaders our world of today needs,” noted Professor Christian Andres, Dean of WHU.

WHU strives to be more than just an institution of higher education; it offers a space defined by a shared pursuit of academic and professional excellence and life-long intellectual curiosity. It educates changemakers and responsible leaders and provides them a platform that encourages excellence and entrepreneurial thinking in all areas of society.

“Like our students, we, as a school, have our own goals. And we are always working to be among the absolute best in Europe, even when the competition is stiffer than ever,” said Dean Andres.

For this year’s ranking, the Financial Times have analyzed data from a total of 100 schools across Europe. Other schools based in Germany appearing on this year’s ranking include ESMT Berlin (#19), Mannheim School of Business (#20), the Frankfurt School of Management (#41), the EBS Business School (#50), and HHL Leipzig (#64).
