MBA in International Business ROI

In the QS Global MBA Ranking the 10 Year ROI indicator calculates the average return on investment based on many factors, such as the cost to attend the program, the living costs, the salary increase and career advancement after graduation.
This indicator is designed to show which Business Schools provide their students with the best Value for Money.

Based on this factor, MIB Trieste MBA is ranked #2 in Italy and #30 in Europe for its ROI, achieving an overall score of 80 out of 100 globally.
This confirms that the MBA in International Business is a highly valuable investment, providing graduates with concrete benefits for their future careers.
Throughout their careers, the MBA graduates will benefit from the skills, experience, competences and network acquired during their MBA, so it reasonable to assume that the ROI  will continue to grow over time.
 

MIB Payback period at the top globally

The MBA payback period is the time it takes for MIB Trieste Alumni to recoup their financial investment for the MBA, using the salary increase generated by the investment itself.
To calculate payback period, QS Ranking looks at tuition fees plus incremental living costs, salary forgone while studying, set against salary plus bonus achieved upon graduation.

The QS Report reveals that the payback period of the MBA in International Business is only 21 months.
In this regard, the overall score is almost 100 out of 100.
This result is among the best in the world (the best performance worldwide is 19 months to pay back).
