London Business School Best in the World for Master's in Finance Programs

London Business School has been ranked as the best institution for studying a master's in finance in this year's QS Business Masters Rankings.
The QS Business Masters Rankings: Masters in Finance Rankings 2019 feature over 150 of the best master’s in finance programs worldwide. London Business School retains the top spot it earned last year, and is closely followed by HEC Paris and MIT Sloan, which have exchanged positions since last year.
London Business School’s program achieved a perfect score in the highest weighted ranking indicator, employability, and a near perfect score in alumni outcomes. Kate Forman, Program Director of the Master's in Finance at London Business School, emphasised to us how cohorts benefit from each other, both during and after the degree:
“All of our students and alumni comment on the unrivalled strength of the networks they have built. The MiF cohorts themselves are incredibly diverse, internationally and professionally. The beauty of a post-experience programme is that the class is full of experts who learn as much from each other as they do from their professors. Students take their elective programmes alongside students from different LBS degree programmes, so their network goes well beyond the world of finance professionals.”
To be included in the Masters in Finance Rankings 2019, programs had to be taught mainly on-campus (i.e. not distance learning), have had at least one graduated class, and a class size of at least 10 students.
Eligible programs were then ranked on five key ranking indicators:
