The FT's much anticipated rankings also place the School’s MMgt program at number five in Asia and again in the world’s top 30.
The Dean, Professor Greg Whitwell, has described the "thrilling" results as "affirmation of the Business School’s world class status and its ability to consistently perform at the highest level".
"Our place in the top 30 is particularly pleasing when viewed in the context of the thousands of MMgt programs now offered by universities around the world," added Deputy Dean Professor John Shields.
The consistently strong performance of our MMgt program reflects an equally consistent investment in quality of the learning that the program affords students," Professor Shields said. "Importantly, our program blends standard education with global emersion particularly in relation to business in China."

"Beyond state-of-the-art content in management, the focus of the program is on honing young leaders capable to solve problems, deal with ambiguity, work in diverse teams and cope with the dynamically changing workplaces of the future," said the School’s MMgt Program Director, Associate Professor Betina Szkudlarek.
"In an intensive one-year program, the brightest students from a diversity of backgrounds from law and arts to engineering and business, work in interdisciplinary contexts to learn how to make a positive difference in organizations and transform the way we do business," added the School’s Associate Dean (Programs), Professor Rae Cooper.
Professor Whitwell referred to a "focus on industry engagement, experiential learning and employability" as he commented on the School’s second place in the FT’s ranking of Universities based on the "careers progress" made by their MMgt graduates.
"Our program equips pre-experience students to succeed in a dynamic and rapidly changing global environment," he said.
"Naturally, dynamic companies which are expanding quickly are keen to employ and promote graduates who can make a significant contribution to their success."
