Financial Times Masters in Management 2025: Audencia ranked 25th worldwide

The Financial Times publishes today its 2025 Masters in Management (MiM) rankings. Audencia climbs to the 25th position worldwide. It is the 8th French post-prepa management school in the ranking and the 5th offering the best value for money.

It's the most eagerly awaited ranking of the new academic year. The 2025 edition of the Financial Times' MiM (Masters in Management) ranking crowns Audencia with a progression of 18 places. Considered the 25th best school in the world, it is also the 9th best French school out of 25 ranked, and the 8th best post-prepa school.

Audencia, one of the best returns on investment in France

At a time when business school tuition fees are a hot topic, Audencia once again proves that investment pays off: it is the 5th best French management school on the criterion of value for money. The school also climbs 20 places for the quality of its Career Center (45th in the world): graduates have thus underlined Audencia's effectiveness in terms of guidance and professional integration. What's more, Audencia is the 6th French post-prepa school to achieve the highest salaries.

Ecological and social transition: an internationally recognized commitment

The 2025 result can also be explained by the school's performance on criteria related to carbon footprint and ESG (environment, social and governance) criteria. A forerunner in the teaching of ecological and social transition for over 20 years, it takes 5th position in the world for ESG and net zero teaching. Its commitment is also illustrated on the carbon footprint criterion, for which it achieves 13th place worldwide.

Portrait de Sébastien Tran, Directeur général d'Audencia

The Financial Times MiM ranking is a benchmark for students worldwide. This 2025 ranking salutes Audencia's historic and ongoing commitment to serving the students who entrust us with their future. Our 5th place as a French business school on the value-for-money criterion proves our ability to guarantee the academic excellence of our programs while remaining attentive to the cost of training, and our 6th place on post-prepa salaries demonstrates that our graduates embark on ambitious careers. Our 25th place worldwide reflects the quality of the training offered at Audencia, as well as our dynamic approach to the challenges of ecological and social transition. It is supported by our dedicated Gaïa school, in particular via its GIFT program, which enables all our professors to fully integrate these themes into each of their teachings.
