Designed to cater for a growing interest in specialized business master's degrees, the QS Business Masters Rankings 2018 identifies the best business schools and universities for studying management, finance and business analytics.

These degree paths are becoming increasingly popular as an alternative to an MBA, particularly among entrepreneurial students and the business analytics ranking is particularly notable for being the first of its kind to ever be compiled anywhere in the world.

Leading the way in this inaugural ranking of management, finance and business analytics programs are HEC Paris, London Business School and MIT Sloan School of Management respectively. For more information on how the rankings were compiled, please click here.
