The University of Exeter Business School has been placed 17th in the world and 3rd in the UK in the latest QS ranking for International Trade programmes, released today (22 May 2024).

The MSc International Business climbed 70 places in the prestigious rankings, placing it among the very best programmes globally.

It follows a data-driven evaluation of the programme across six metrics: trade programme content, reputation, graduate outcomes, industry teaching, and research.

The MSc International Business scored highly across all categories, and was sixth in the world for ‘trade programme content’, a category that judges whether what is being taught ensures graduates have the skills that employers in international trade require.

This is the second edition of the QS International Trade Rankings, which are sponsored by the Hinrich Foundation, and this year’s ranking featured 73 institutions across 26 locations.

Professor David Boughey, Interim Deputy Pro-Vice Chancellor and Dean of the University of Exeter Business School, said: “For our MSc International Business to be placed 17th in the world in the QS International Trade Rankings 2024 is evidence of the strength of this programme in supporting students to secure employment and accelerate their careers. I would like to extend my congratulations to all involved with the programme, from our academic experts to students and staff members.”

The University of Exeter Business School is among the 1% of the very best global institutions to gain Triple Crown accreditation from the three largest and most influential business school accreditation organisations worldwide: AACSB, EQUIS and AMBA. It was named THE Business School of the Year for 2022.
