Perspektywy Polish MBA Ranking 2021

Today, after a 3-year break, we got to know the results of this year's PERSPEKTIVY ranking of MBA programs, in which 1st place (1st place in 2018) was taken by Executive MBA program from Kozminski University, 2nd place (1st place in 2018) by Canadian Executive Master of Business Administration (SGH), 3rd place (1st place in 2018) by emba@uw - Executive MBA (MCZ UW).

The ranking of MBA studies prepared by the PERSPEKTIVY Foundation is one of the longest-running, as well as the most well-known and recognized, lists of this type in Poland. In this year's edition, 41 MBA programmes have been ranked. To be included in this year's ranking, an MBA programme had to meet the following requirements: be active, i.e. recruit students and teach; be established before 2019, i.e. implement at least the second edition; have a study programme of at least 300 hours of classes; and respond to a questionnaire prepared by the Publisher.

Ranking methodology

In the process of evaluating MBA programs, 6 main criteria are taken into account, i.e. the rank and prestige of the program, the opinion of graduates, the quality of students, the quality of staff, the substantive features of the program, support of the educational process, the rank and prestige of the program. In each of these criteria different aspects are examined. In this year's edition, 24 indicators related to the running of the MBA program were taken into account. The survey consists of questionnaires among study providers, program graduates and employers. The results of the survey are then taken into account in the ranking with appropriate weighting. According to the rules adopted by the Chapter, programs whose total score does not differ by more than 0.5 percent are ranked the same.

Conclusions   

As in previous editions of the ranking, the top spot is occupied by MBA programs from Warsaw. This year, they occupied the entire podium, and there are as many as 6 MBA programs available in Warsaw in the top 10.

As far as the significance of the ranking is concerned, it should be emphasized that the ranking certainly makes it easier to find an answer as to which MBA program to choose and is a source of a lot of valuable information. However, it should not be the only criterion for choosing a program, school or university. At the same time, it turns out that MBA studies are both valued and increasingly appreciated. It is still a good investment, as the best of them can boast a very satisfactory rate of return.
