Methodology

Eduniversal’s ranking of the best Master’s, MS, and MBA programs evaluates programs, not institutions. Eduniversal ranks existing programs, i.e. not just the programs that respond to the survey.   

Each ranking is based on 3 main criteria: the reputation of the course, the starting salary, and students’ satisfaction feedback.
