EDHEC further strengthens its position as a global leader in finance education. The school ranks 5th worldwide among 70 institutions in the Financial Times Masters in Finance Ranking 2026.
“This 5th place worldwide confirms EDHEC’s international reputation in finance and also highlights the strength of our Master in Management. It reflects the commitment of our teams, the excellence of our faculty, the richness of the international experiences we offer our students, and the ability of our graduates to succeed within the world’s leading financial institutions,” said Tristan-Pierre Maury, Director of the Master in Management programme.
The Financial Times Masters in Finance Ranking 2026 recognises several key pillars of the student experience within EDHEC’s Master in Management programme: international exposure, career success, and the strength of the alumni network.
2nd Worldwide for “Aims Achieved”
The “Aims Achieved” criterion measures a programme’s ability to fulfil its students’ ambitions. Based on alumni feedback three years after graduation, it assesses the extent to which graduates believe they have achieved the goals that motivated their choice of programme, whether in terms of career aspirations, professional development, international exposure, or skills acquisition. EDHEC ranks 2nd worldwide on this criterion.
“More than a performance indicator, the ‘Aims Achieved’ criterion reflects the alignment between our students’ professional ambitions and the skills and opportunities provided through our programmes,” noted Tristan-Pierre Maury.
3rd Worldwide for International Course Experience
The Financial Times ranks EDHEC’s Master in Finance 3rd worldwide for “International Course Experience”. This indicator measures the level of international exposure offered to students through academic and professional experiences abroad, such as exchange programmes and internships.
To provide students with a truly global experience, EDHEC offers extensive international mobility opportunities through 26 double degrees and strategic partnerships, as well as a network of 195 leading partner universities worldwide.
3rd in France for Alumni Network
EDHEC also ranks 3rd in France for the “Alumni Network” criterion. Assessed by alumni, this criterion evaluates the effectiveness of the alumni network in supporting career opportunities, entrepreneurship, recruitment, and career-related events. Students become members of EDHEC Alumni from the moment they join the school, gaining access to a global community of 65,000 alumni.
“These outstanding results demonstrate EDHEC’s ability to educate graduates who can thrive in a demanding international financial environment while meeting our students’ academic and professional aspirations. They also confirm the relevance of our model, which combines academic excellence with a strong international outlook,” concluded Tristan-Pierre Maury.
