Massey Business School has climbed the global rankings, with its Master of Business Administration (MBA) now ranked among the top 10 in Oceania and first equal in New Zealand.
The MBA also moved into the 201 to 250 band worldwide, while its online version made its debut in the top 100 globally.
Two other postgraduate programmes also rose.
The Master of Business Analytics advanced into the 101 to 150 international band, securing 19th place for programme diversity, while the Master of Finance moved into the 151 to 200 band, marking its first appearance on the world stage.
Research performance proved a standout across the board.
The MBA scored 93.1% for research impact, the Master of Finance 98.7%, and the Master of Business Analytics 86.8%, underscoring Massey’s reputation for high-quality research.
The rankings, released by Quacquarelli Symonds (QS), are considered among the most influential globally, drawing insights from academics, employers and alumni.
They measure how well business schools prepare students for leadership in a competitive international market.
Professor Jonathan Elms, Pro Vice-Chancellor of Massey Business School, says the recognition reflects years of commitment.
“These results highlight the impact our graduates are having on business and society, and they reinforce our position as a leader in business education in Aotearoa and the wider region.”
For Coasties, Massey’s Albany campus is less than 20 minutes down the motorway, making these world-class programmes, including the highly ranked MBA and online MBA, an accessible option close to home.
