QS World University Ranking, among the most prestigious Rankings worldwide, ranked Rome Business School’s International Online MBA in the top 3 in Italy, 63rd in the world, and 23rd in EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa). This result once again demonstrates the excellence of the MBA program, which is highly educational, professionalizing, and globally competitive.
QS World University Ranking with over 27 years of experience in the field, is one of the most prestigious rankings in Europe for Universities and Business Schools and uses a rigorous methodology to evaluate and rank educational institutions according to four macro-indicators.
Specifically, of Rome Business School’s MBA, the body positively evaluated the first one, Classroom Experience, where Rome Business School achieved the highest score thanks to the use of its specific innovative online teaching methodology aimed at maximizing the student experience. Indeed, this makes learning more interactive and engaging, also making use of face-to-face meetings, live lectures, discussions and group projects, as well as debate meetings with partners such as Microsoft and Amazon. Flexibility, course materials and technology also contributed to the excellent ranking. Of all the variables contributing to this indicator, Rome Business School received a score +60% of the average MBA evaluated by the ranking.
On the second, the Quality of the faculty: expertise, professional experience and diversity of the faculty were particularly appreciated, along with the balanced ratio of faculty to students and the very high MBA completion rate (98%), evidence of the effectiveness of RBS’s academic strategy in guiding its students to the best of their ability in their professional and personal growth.
In the third, Class Profile, Rome Business School stood out for the internationality of the class, the work experience of the students and the strong representation of women (50%), setting an example of diversity and inclusion in the high education environment. In particular, the diversity of nationalities emphasizes the global attractiveness of the institution: 62% of MBA students come from abroad.
Finally, in the fourth macro-indicator, Employability, the evaluation given by employers on the preparation of Rome Business School students they hired allowed QS World University Ranking to judge their contribution to the company. Not only that, salary increase and network of companies mean that of MBA students, 56% hold Executive positions, registering a salary increase of +34% after Master’s completion. This is also possible thanks to the highly personalized career path offered by the RBS Career Center, the Career Propeller, designed specifically for MBA students. This pathway provides access to various opportunities such as professionalizing workshops and EFMD Virtual Talent fairs, as well as meetings with head hunters and consultants.
“This outstanding achievement reflects Rome Business School’s relentless commitment to providing world-class education that prepares our students to excel in a competitive global market,” says Antonio Ragusa, Dean of Rome Business School.
Rome Business School continues to demonstrate the excellence of its programs, to date, recognized specifically for the International Online MBA, not only in Italy by ASFOR, the most authoritative accreditation body in Italian Higher Education, but also worldwide by the prestigious QS World University Ranking and CEO Magazine.
“This further achievement motivates us even more to continue working every day to ensure that our students receive an education of excellence, to train professionals and future leaders, competitive in Italy and in the world,” concludes Dean Antonio Ragusa.
