Henley climbs to UK top 5 in the FT Masters in Management Ranking 2024

Henley has been ranked as one of the UK’s top 5 business schools for its Masters in Management programme, placing 5th in this year’s Financial Times (FT) rankings. Our position among the world’s top 100 business schools has also improved, with Henley placing 83rd in the world and 66th in Europe.

Students who study at Henley have some of the best employment prospects. The Business School placed 4th in the UK for the percentage of students employed three months after completing the programme. Henley was also ranked 9th in the UK for career progress, where the growth in the level of seniority as well as the size of organisations that graduates are working for are taken into account.

With Henley graduates reporting an average salary increase of 45 per cent since course completion, the Business School was ranked 6th in the UK for salary increase.
