One of Europe's top business schools is in Jönköping

Jönköping International Business School (JIBS) solidifies its position as one of Europe’s top business education institutions. In this year's Financial Times (FT) European Business School Ranking, JIBS maintains its spot on the list for the fourth consecutive year and climbs another eight places to an impressive 74th position. This upward trend highlights the school's continued development and high quality.

The ranking, released on 2 December, is renowned for its comprehensive assessment of top-tier European business schools. Since debuting on the list in 2021, JIBS has consistently improved its ranking.

"We are incredibly proud to be included in the Financial Times ranking again. Climbing another eight steps is a fantastic recognition for our faculty, staff, students, and alumni who together contribute to strengthening JIBS as a leading business school,” says Martin Wallin, Dean and Managing Director at JIBS.

This year’s ranking includes 100 distinguished European business schools and is based on each school's cumulative scores from previous FT programme rankings. School performance is assessed using multiple indicators, including graduate salary and career progression, international focus, faculty academic level, and diversity.

Global perspective and excellent career opportunities

This year's results highlight JIBS’s strong performance across all metrics. The school maintains a distinctly international profile, attracting a diverse student and staff body. Nearly half of the faculty and around 80 percent of the master’s students come from international backgrounds, fostering a multicultural environment that equips students with a global perspective and valuable advantages in the job market. JIBS also ranks highly regarding how affordable alumni consider their education to be and is noted for having the highest proportion of international and female faculty in Scandinavia.

“Our improved ranking highlights that our students are acquiring the knowledge and skills they need to grow into responsible and entrepreneurial leaders. It’s inspiring to see how successful our alumni have become and how rapidly their careers are advancing,” says Martin Wallin.

As one of three Swedish business schools on the prestigious list, alongside Stockholm School of Economics and Lund University School of Economics and Management, JIBS continues to attract ambitious students and partners, cementing its role as a leader in global business education.
