We are pleased to share that UMIO’s open executive programmes, delivered as part of Maastricht University School of Business and Economics (SBE), have once again earned recognition in the Financial Times Open-Enrolment Executive Education Ranking 2026.
The Financial Times Open-Enrolment Executive Education Ranking is considered one of the most respected international benchmarks for evaluating the quality and impact of executive education. SBE’s executive education portfolio (UMIO, MSM, and UNU-MERIT) was assessed across a range of criteria, including programme design, faculty expertise, participant diversity, international scope, and participant satisfaction.
Mariëlle Heijltjes, Dean of Maastricht University School of Business and Economics, is extremely proud of this achievement. “This recognition is a wonderful reflection of the passion and commitment of everyone involved in our executive education programmes,” Mariëlle says. “We strive to create learning experiences that truly make a difference for professionals, organisations, and society. Seeing that effort acknowledged internationally is something we are very proud of.”
This recognition underscores UMIO’s dedication to offering high-quality executive education that equips professionals and organisations to navigate today’s rapidly evolving and globally connected business landscape. Through its portfolio of short executive programmes, UMIO continues to support lifelong learning, leadership development, and organisational growth.
