SIIL Ranked Among the Top 100 in the QS World Online MBA Rankings

In 2024, the SIIL MBA program was included in the QS World Online MBA Rankings, published annually by the British company Quacquarelli Symonds. This is one of the three most authoritative rankings of higher education institutions in the world.

In the Online MBA category of the SIIL global ranking, it made it into the Top 100 and ranked 31st among universities in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.

Being included in the QS rankings is not just another way to strengthen the university’s reputation and raise its profile. For SIIL, it is first and foremost a source of objective information that provides a clearer picture of how the global higher education and continuing education sectors are evolving, in which areas the institute can improve its educational offerings, and what else it can do to benefit its students.

Methodology for Compiling the Online MBA Rankings

The QS Online MBA Rankings highlight the best online MBA programs worldwide, taking into account factors such as career prospects, faculty and teaching quality, student profiles, and students’ prior professional experience.

Indicators

The set of metrics considered in compiling the Online MBA ranking and their respective weights:

1. Faculty and Teaching — 35%. This reflects the quality of instruction in the curriculum and helps determine whether each student receives sufficient individual attention from faculty to ensure steady progress through the program.
2. Class Profile — 30%. Provides insight into the diversity of the student body: it takes into account the percentage of women and students of various nationalities in the class, the students’ average work experience, and the program’s competitiveness.
3. Employment rate — 30%. Most students decide to finish their studies and start looking for a job as soon as they complete their bachelor’s programs, so the university’s reputation among employers is crucial.
4. Academic Support — 5%. Indicates the level of support a university provides to online students: technical support, access to the learning app, and the publication of all course materials.
