WardrobeTrendsFashion’s best business schools in the world, 2017: Methodology

The tenets of our methodology remain the same, but each year we aim to refine. This year, the factors we have considered is based on 7 major indicators of quality, overall Score (100%) is the sum of:

  1. Academic reputation
  2. Admission eligibility
  3. Job placement rate
  4. Recruiter feedback
  5. Specialisation
  6. Global reputation and influence
  7. Annual tuition and fees

Data for these indicators was collected from publicly available sources, business school’s website, our research, and survey. It measures the quality of education, job placements of students, and the recruiters feedback, without relying on university data submissions. Students, industry professionals, and recruiters were asked to rate business schools on a scale of 1 “marginal” to 100 “outstanding” or “don’t know.”
