ESCP EMBA ranks in top five for the fifth year running
ESCP’s Executive MBA programme has once again been recognised among the very best in the world, ranking #3 in Europe and #5 worldwide in the 2026 Financial Times ranking of the top 100 Executive MBA programmes.
For the 5th year in a row, ESCP’s EMBA has been ranked among the top five programmes, reaffirming ESCP’s position at the forefront of executive education and highlighting the distinctive strengths of its European model: responsible leadership, international collaboration, and highly personalised learning.
Leading the way in responsible management education
ESCP once again achieved #1 worldwide for ‘Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)’, recognising the programme’s commitment to equipping leaders with the skills and knowledge to create lasting value for business and society. Sustainability and ethics are embedded throughout the curriculum, with professors required to identify between two and four Sustainable Development Goals to which each course contributes.
Once again ranking among the world’s leading Executive MBA programmes is a powerful recognition of ESCP’s mission. We are committed to developing leaders who can connect performance with purpose and navigate complexity with responsibility. Our European identity, international reach and commitment to positive impact remain central to that ambition

An international learning experience
The programme ranks #2 for international course experience. Across ESCP’s seven international campuses and thanks to 5 location-specific seminars across continents, ESCP’s EMBA participants explore the burning issues in global business. With 95% international participants and 94% international faculty, ESCP’s EMBA brings together perspectives from across industries, cultures and continents, creating a truly global learning environment.
The ESCP EMBA is a catalyst for change. It gives executives new knowledge, but also something deeper: new perspectives, relationships, confidence and a truly global mindset. By learning with and from people across cultures, industries and countries, participants often discover not only where they want to go next, but also a different way of leading, doing business and looking at society and the world.

- Their preferred format, either monthly or in intensive week blocks; and
- From more than 50 elective courses to build a learning journey aligned with their aspirations.
