VŠE Once Again the Best Business School in Central and Eastern Europe! We have defended our 1st place in the Eduniversal rankings

VŠE has once again defended its 1st place in this year’s Eduniversal Best Business School Ranking for the Central & Eastern Europe region.

This achievement confirms its long-term stable and exceptional position among the leading European business and management schools.
This year’s award ceremony took place in India, where the award on behalf of VŠE was accepted by the Vice-Rector for Science and Research, Prof. Ing. Martin Lukeš, Ph.D. His participation and acceptance of the award symbolically underscore the university’s international engagement and its active role within the global academic community.

What is the Eduniversal ranking?

Eduniversal is a renowned international ranking that annually evaluates the 1,000 best business schools from more than 150 countries worldwide. The ranking has existed since 2007 and has become one of the most recognized tools for comparing the quality of management education on a global level.

The selection of schools is carried out by the International Scientific Committee, which consists of 12 experts representing individual world regions. The evaluation includes criteria such as the degree of internationalization, academic reputation, and the quality of educational programs.

The aim of the ranking is to provide prospective students, professionals, and partner institutions with a clear and reliable overview of which schools represent the top in their region and what opportunities they offer for academic and professional development.

Palmes of Excellence – a symbol of quality

Eduniversal divides schools into five levels of so-called Palmes of Excellence. These reflect the quality of the institution, its international reputation, and its degree of global influence.
VŠE has long been placed in the highest category, among institutions with the broadest global reach and the highest international recognition. This placement confirms that the university belongs to the elite of business schools worldwide.

The significance of the award for VŠE

For the Prague University of Economics and Business, this award is a confirmation of its long-term strategic direction and international competitiveness. The first place within the Central and Eastern Europe region underscores that VŠE is able to:

  • offer top-level economic and managerial education,

  • keep pace with leading global institutions and respond to the rapidly changing needs of the labor market,

  • create an environment that fosters critical thinking, innovation, and international cooperation,

  • provide students with wide-ranging opportunities for study abroad, participation in international projects, and networking with global companies.

The award also strengthens the school’s prestige among employers, professional institutions, and potential students who often rely on international rankings when choosing their study destination abroad.

We are proud that VŠE continues to be a leader in the region and keeps building its reputation on a global scale. The success in the Eduniversal ranking is the result of long-term efforts by academics, staff, and students who together shape a high-quality and internationally respected institution.
