Lund University School of Economics and Management has done it again! The school has been ranked #44 in the world in the Financial Times' prestigious annual ranking of 100 Master's programmes in Management. This marks a climb of 13 spots compared with last year.
Lund University's Master's programme in International Strategic Management has seen a steady rise in the ranking, in 2022 the programme climbed from #77 to #57, continuing on to #44 in 2023.
"This is of course both very honorable for Lund University, and the programme and a clear confirmation that we together with our motivated and driven students create added value. It is also a proof that the programme's profile towards an integrated approach on ESG and strategic management both bears fruit and creates interest in the programme," says programme director Ulf Ramberg.
Ulf can not stress enough how important the students are to the programme and its success:
"The experiences, knowledge, and capabilities that the programme's students bring with them into the programme are of course of decisive importance, just as the mix of students. This year we have students with 20 different nationalities. The students are undeniably the programme's most valuable resource," Ulf explains.
He continues:
"LUSEM's emphasis on students having both in-depth conceptual knowledge and the ability to apply it in real live business cases is also very central."
Ulf says that there are many interacting aspects on why the students are so pleased with this MSc programme. Even though the programme is both intense and demanding, Ulf sees an ever-increasing level among the students.
"The fact that we managed to create relevant content in less than half the programme time compared to many of our competitors is undeniably important. Our students need to walk an extra mile, or two, to pass but when they step up, their learning undeniably increases which of course challenge us teachers to constantly be at the forefront."
