Continued Global Recognition for SBE’s Executive Education by Financial Times

08-06-2026

We are proud to announce that, as part of Maastricht University School of Business and Economics (SBE), MSM’s open executive programmes have once again been recognised in the global Financial Times Executive Education Open-enrolment Ranking.

The Financial Times Executive Education ranking is widely regarded as one of the leading benchmarks for assessing the quality and impact of executive education worldwide. SBE’s executive education activities (MSM, UMIO and UNU-MERIT) were evaluated on criteria including course design, faculty quality, participant diversity, international reach, and overall participant satisfaction.

Mariëlle Heijltjes, Dean of Maastricht University School of Business and Economics, is extremely proud about this achievement “This recognition is a wonderful reflection of the passion and commitment of everyone involved in our executive education programmes. We strive to create learning experiences that truly make a difference for professionals, organisations, and society. Seeing that effort acknowledged internationally is something we are very proud of.”

This continued recognition highlights MSM’s ongoing commitment to delivering high-quality short executive programmes that supports professionals and organisations in an increasingly international and dynamic business environment.
