Rabat Business School (RBS), part of the International University of Rabat, has climbed to 10th place in the Financial Times’ global Masters in Management ranking, according to an RBS statement.
The school had ranked 86th in 2023 before rising to 54th that year, 32nd in 2024 and 20th in 2025. Its latest result places it among the world’s leading business schools.
Rabat Business School also recorded particularly strong results across several key indicators. It ranks first in the world for its graduates’ salary percentage increase, first worldwide for overall satisfaction and fifth worldwide for career progress.
These results reflect both the quality of the experience offered to students and the program’s concrete impact on their professional careers, the same source said.
For several years, Rabat Business School has been the only business school in Africa and the Middle East to feature in this prestigious global ranking. Its latest rise further strengthens its international profile and confirms the school’s ambition to establish itself among the world’s leading institutions for management education.
The Financial Times Masters in Management Ranking evaluates leading international business schools based on various criteria, including graduates’ career and salary progression, their satisfaction, the achievement of their professional goals and the international reach of the programs.
“The Financial Times Masters in Management Ranking is one of the most widely recognized rankings in the world of higher education in management. Seeing Rabat Business School reach 10th place worldwide today is naturally a great source of pride for our institution, Morocco and Africa. This recognition comes above all as recognition of the patient and collective work carried out by our entire community for more than ten years,” said Nicolas Arnaud, Dean and Director General of Rabat Business School, quoted in the statement.
“Beyond the result itself, this distinction shows that an African business school can be recognized among the world’s leading international institutions and, alongside European, North American and Asian schools, contribute to the major trends shaping the future of management education,” he said, adding that it encourages the school to continue its efforts for the benefit of students, partners and the development of the African continent.
With its entry into the global Top 10, Rabat Business School has reached another major milestone in its international development and reaffirmed its commitment to pursuing academic and professional excellence with ambition and high standards, the statement concluded.
