After five years at the top, London Business School has ceded first place to Judge Business School at the Cambridge university in the FT’s 2016 ranking of finance programmes for students already working in the field.
In the ranking of programmes for students with little or no industry experience, HEC Paris has retained its top place for the sixth consecutive year, ahead of ESCP Europe of France and IE Business School of Spain, both of which moved up by one place.
The FT ranks masters in finance programmes both for those with little or no background in the financial industry (the pre-experience category) and courses for professionals who have already worked in the sector.
