Henley continues its strong performance in the Financial Times (FT) Masters in Finance 2005 ranking, maintaining its place in the world top 40 (36) and remaining as one of the top UK 91Ƶַschools, retaining 6th place in the UK. Henley was also ranked at number 32 in Europe, despite facing further competition this year.

As rated by its alumni, Henley placed in the UK top ten for overall satisfaction.

Alumni career progress

The drivers of Henley’s performance are in large part attributable to the alumni salary measures which account for 26% of the overall ranking outcome. The reported average graduate salary of $80,000 three years after programme completion saw Henley improve by 10 places.

This was accompanied by a salary increase of 62%, securing a world top 20 and UK number two ranking in this measure. Of those who were seeking employment, 77% of graduates were in employment three months following graduation.

Programme experience

Reflecting the international dimension of it curriculum and the opportunity given to students for exchanges and internships overseas, Henley held onto the UK number one spot for the international course experience measure for the third year running.

Professor George Alexandridis, Head of Pre-Experience Postgraduate Programmes, said: “Retaining our position among the UK’s leading 91Ƶַschools is a significant achievement, particularly given the increased competition this year. It reflects not only the strength and relevance of our programme, but also the dedication and excellence of our entire community of faculty, staff, students and alumni.

Our aim is to equip students with the knowledge and employability skills required to thrive in a dynamic global workforce, which is why it’s particularly rewarding to see the strong results around international course experience and alumni salary. We are also grateful to our alumni for ranking us in the UK top 10 for overall satisfaction.

We’re equally pleased to see our diverse, world-class faculty recognised. Their broad disciplinary expertise and global perspectives significantly enrich our students’ learning experience.”

Henley’s performance in the diversity measures (gender and international backgrounds) of its faculty body and advisory board has remained strong and continues to record top 10 positions and a UK number one in this measure.

Henley also performed well in the sustainability measures, retaining a number one ranking for its zero carbon footprint reduction activities for the third year running. And in a newly introduced measure calculating the proportion of ESG and net zero teaching, Henley secured a UK top 10 ranking.

A total of 70 schools from around the world were ranked this year, with an additional five schools joining the ranking in 2025.
