Stanford Repeats At No. 1 In Financial Times 2019 MBA Ranking

As is often the case with all rankings, there were plenty of surprises 

1.  Oxford University’s Saïd Business School jumped 14 spots, more than any other Top 25 school, to gain its highest FT ranking ever in 13th place. 
2.  Oxford bested its British rival, the University of Cambridge’s Judge Business School, which fell three places to rank 16th. Only two years ago, in 2017, Cambridge’s one-year MBA program was ahead of Oxford by 28 positions, ranking fifth versus Oxford’s 33rd.
3. University of Virginia’s Darden School of Business moved into the Top 25, ranking 23rd from 32nd only a year ago.  
4. IE Business School sank to a rank of 31st, the school’s weakest showing since 2002 when IE finished 35th, and significantly below its eighth-place finish in the world in 2017 when it was also third best in Europe (see IE Back On The FT List But At A Rank Of 31st).
