FT Business Education magazine:

Masters in Management Ranking 

The Financial Times plans to publish this report in print and online on September 7 2026.

We are likely to include the following articles. (Please note that this list is provisional.)

The 2026 FT Masters in Management Ranking. 

Assessing the top business school providers of MiMs.

Analysis.

The FT’s global education editor looks at which schools did well in the MiM ranking and why, plus trends in the sector.   

Stepping up. 

As economic uncertainty and AI disruption threatens entry level jobs for business graduates, schools are overhauling their training to reflect the new higher order skills recruiters seek. 

Could the MiM overtake the MBA?

Business masters programmes grew 9 per cent overall and outperformed MBAs, while many flexible and online MBA formats have declined. Students appear to be moving back towards full-time, in-person study, but still want shorter, cheaper and more career-focused degrees with clearer return on investment - a combination that increasingly plays to the strengths of the MiM. 

Charting the course:   The Masters in Management in data and graphics. 

Continental shifts

International applications are weakening across the UK, US and Canada, while Europe (excluding the UK) and Asia are growing strongly. The data points to visa restrictions, tougher immigration rhetoric, geopolitical uncertainty and rising costs pushing students to reconsider where they study. Europe looks increasingly attractive for lower tuition costs, shorter courses, easier mobility and better access to work opportunities after graduation. 

How to… apply. 

What to consider when choosing a school and programme - and how to secure a place. 

How to… study. 

How to get the most from the MiM experience, including what to expect, study tips, managing time and stress - and the job search.     

Student views:   Past and present MiM students share their experiences and advice.

Methodology:   How the ranking was compiled.

The UK’s Fastest Growing Companies

The Financial Times proposes to publish this FT Report on 15 October 2026

We plan to include the following features (please note that this list is provisional):

Introduction 

The environment for growth companies in the UK, and where they fit into the government’s desire (and need) for growth.

Ranking

The inaugural ranking of the 150 fastest growing companies in the UK, produced in partnership with data specialists Statista. 

Column

How businesses can thrive in a stagnant economy, and what separates companies that can grow from the rest.

Wellness

A clutch of companies in the ranking operate in the wellness sector. Where is the boom in demand for these products coming from, can it be sustained, and why are relatively new companies making such inroads into the market?

Funding and Finance

Companies that offer funding and finance to SMEs make up a sizeable chunk of this year’s ranking. How are they managing to grow, and what does this tell us about more traditional sources of SME finance?

Fast Food

Several relatively new fast food and coffee companies have made the list. How are they making a name for themselves in what is already a very well served market?

Ageing Population

Some of the companies on the list are well set up to benefit from demand driven by the UK’s ageing population, from care providers to pension specialists. How are they addressing the potential long-term growth in the market?

Business Education:

Executive MBA Ranking

The Financial Times plans to publish this business education report in a magazine and online on October 12 2026.

We are likely to include the following articles. (Please note that this list is provisional.)

The 2026 FT Executive MBA Ranking. 

Assessing the top business school providers of EMBAsaround the world, plus school profiles and key.

Analysis. 

The FT’s global education editor looks at which business schools did well in the EMBA ranking and why, plus trends in the sector.   

How to Apply — and Study. 

Advice from academics, programme administrators, participants and alumni about choosing and getting a place on a course, plus tips on successful study while working, with many students also juggling senior roles.  

Beyond Burnout. 

Why business schools are building healthcare, wellbeing and mental resilience directly into the Executive MBA experience as senior professionals manage stress and sustainable performance.  

Market Shift? 

Applications to Executive MBAs fell 15 per cent in 2025, according to industry body GMAC, while those to other "flexible" MBA categories also dropped. Was this a temporary dip or more significant? Could the numbers be affected by falling employer funding, economic uncertainty, or shorter courses cannibalising the market? And how are business schools responding?

Making a Difference. 

An article exploring data on the spread and impact of business school research in the wider commercial world. 

The Charity Case. 

EMBA participants taking on charity trustee roles, gaining boardroom experience while helping good causes, looks like a win-win situation. What do they learn and what challenges do they meet in the charity sector — and does it really benefit both parties? 

Charting the Course:   The EMBA in FT data and graphics.

Student Views:   Executive MBA participants share their experiences and advice for those who follow. 

Study Story. 

A graduate explains what they learnt from studying for an EMBA and what it has meant for their career, in their own words.

Investing in Argentina

The Financial Times proposes to publish this FT Report on 23rd October 2026.

We plan to include the following features (please note that this list is provisional):

Introduction

The Argentine government believes it is creating a new economic model that can underpin a generation of strong growth - built around low inflation, deregulation and heavy investment in booming energy and mining sectors. As Javier Milei prepares for a re-election campaign next year, how secure is his economic plan?

Resources Revolution

The country is witnessing a dramatic expansion in its energy and mining sectors. The Vaca Muerta shale oil and gasfield, the second largest shale gas field in the world, is ramping up production, while new investments are taking place in lithium and other key commodities. Some observers expect $25bn of new investments in the coming years.

Consumer Goods

The collapse in inflation and reduction in tariffs is prompting a consumer boom, with Argentinians snapping up everything from Lego to iPhones. Will the boom last? And can local manufacturers compete?

AI and Deregulation

The Milei government is pitching Argentina as an ideal market for the AI industry, with light-touch regulation and plentiful energy resources. OpenAI and Sur Energy announced plans in October for a data center with an investment of up to $25bn.

Macroeconomics and Politics

Milei and his party performed strongly in last year’s legislative elections, but only after the US offered economic assistance to calm markets. Is his economic plan now on more solid footing? And will the opposition be able to mount a strong challenge in next year’s presidential election.

Trade

As Donald Trump raises tariffs for many countries, Mercosur, the South American trade grouping, is being courted by much of the rest of the world - including the recent signing of a long-awaited agreement with the EU. But Milei also chafes at the obligations of being part of Mercosur and has sought his own bilateral deals.

UK-Argentina trade

A look at the trade and investment relationship between the UK and Argentina.

Photography and the social contract in the age of fake news

In a political climate defined by conflict in both Ukraine and the middle-east, how are photojournalists working in war zones battling the increasing distrust of traditional news outlets? 

Photography Education

As large language models become an omnipresent force in higher education, how are today’s art course leaders integrating generative AI image making in the curricula to prepare a new generation of image makers for the future of photography? 

Curator Interview

What are the current trends defining art photography collecting in 2026? An FT writer speaks to a prominent photography curator at a major museum/auction house.

Did it even happen if you didn’t share it? In this opinion piece, a photography critic questions how social media has fundamentally transformed how we consume photographs.

The return of film photography

From One Battle After Another to Wuthering Heights and The Odyssey, the past year's biggest Hollywood blockbusters have been shot on traditional film negatives as opposed to digital cameras. This article surveys the resurgence of film photography.

Photographers on photography

This photo essay surveys the art photographers who work with photography history in their practice, often recontextualising key moments and series from the history of the medium in their work.

5 photographs that changed the medium

This photo essay chronicles the history of photography in five images which fundamentally changed the way we look at the medium. From the first daguerrotype to the invention of colour photography and the Moon landing, these landmark images pushed the possibilities beyond the naked eye.

Investing in Health

The Financial Times proposes to publish this FT Report in  2026

We plan to include the following features (please note that this list is provisional):

Introduction: The demographic imperative

Populations across much of the world are ageing, creating health challenges that threaten to overwhelm existing arrangements. Investing in healthcare across the board will be critical if people are to live longer, healthier lives. 

Visual explainer - the hospital of the future

What digital healthcare can do - and what it can’t. The UK is rolling out “virtual wards” with remote monitoring technology, while trials around the world are looking at the potential for AI-driven diagnoses and robot-assisted surgery. What are the limits of technology, and will there be areas where humans are always needed?

Start-ups

AI and defence have been the most popular destinations for start-up funding in recent years. Where has that left growth companies in the health sector? Is a lack of funding holding back innovation?

The investor perspective

What are investors looking for in the health sector, and are companies in the industry capable of delivering what they want? How well is the sector balancing shareholder returns with the need to invest in R&D?

Preventative care and personalised health

Personalised care is one of the great hopes for the future, and the source of much investment. How far could this branch of healthcare grow, and could it be held back by data concerns?

Vaccines

Vaccines were the focus of attention - and investment - during the Covid-19 pandemic. Five years on, how has the market evolved and is it in a strong position to develop new vaccines for cancer and other conditions? What are the target areas for new vaccines?

Healthcare in the global south

The restructuring of the US aid system has left many critical initiatives around the world short of funds. Are other countries, investors or NGOs able to step in to invest in these schemes?

Investing in America

The Financial Times proposes to publish this FT Report on November 12 2026

We plan to include the following features (please note that this list is provisional):

Investment Boom

Countries around the world have pledged to invest billions of dollars in the US, partly in the course of negotiations with the government over tariffs and trade. Which countries have made (and delivered on) the most substantial promises, and which parts of the US economy are likely to be the biggest beneficiaries?

Energy Reform

President Trump’s policies have already made it easier to develop new energy projects but, with the Iran war prompting fresh questions about energy security around the world, pressure is growing in the US for further reforms. 

AI and Data Centres

Data centre building is proceeding at pace in the US, as demand grows for AI-based products and services. Which companies and sectors are most closely involved in the physical build-out of this infrastructure?

The ‘Golden Age’ of Manufacturing?

President Trump has promised a fresh start for the manufacturing industry, with a range of tariffs designed to make it more attractive to create products and expand supply chains in the US. But are manufacturers on the ground feeling the benefits yet?

The View from Japan

Japanese companies have long been substantial investors in the US economy, and more is promised after a recent deal between the two countries. Those Japanese businesses planning to invest will be eager to learn the lessons from decades of experience. 

Boston’s Leading Position

A recent FT ranking found that Boston is the best US city for foreign multinationals to do business, based on a combination of the business environment, the workforce, quality of life, openness and resilience. We look at what the city has done to attract overseas companies. 

Luxury Shift

With growth in China faltering, luxury goods companies have been focusing their attention on the US with a range of new store openings, consumer experiences and manufacturing initiatives. 

Column

How overseas investors are dealing with uncertainty around US rules and regulations under the Trump administration.

Upskilling

The Financial Times proposes to publish this FT Report in 2026

We plan to include the following features (please note that this list is provisional):

Introduction: How to identify the skills gaps

With a plethora of upskilling options available, organisations have to make tough choices about how to spend their resources. What are the best ways to find the skills gaps across the organisation, and do collaborative approaches beat top-down directives? 

AI coaches

The rise of AI coaches is creating in-the-moment learning opportunities. Many employees prefer asking questions to a bot than a person. But is it also reinforcing workplace loneliness? How can organisations counteract this?

The rise of microtraining

Employees leading busy lives often complain that they have little time for lengthy upskilling programmes. Can microtraining, and courses which enable learning during the flow of work, be a more effective answer than more traditional methods?

Measurement

How can companies and employees measure the benefits of learning? Many organisations rely on participation metrics. But how can they track whether it is making a difference, and assess the ROI on upskilling schemes? 

Older workers

Older workers are sometimes overlooked when it comes to learning and upskilling while younger staff are seen as high-potential. How do employers make sure that employees of all ages are given opportunities to develop?

Women and AI skills

Are women being left out of AI skills training? A report by Randstaad earlier this year found this was the case. What are the best ways to fix this?

Teaching ‘soft skills’

Can so-called ‘soft skills’ such as judgment and interpersonal skills be learned? They are likely to be in demand as AI takes over many daily tasks. How are business schools and other training providers approaching the challenge?

Investing in Central and Eastern Europe

The Financial Times proposes to publish this FT Report on January 12, 2027

We plan to include the following features (please note that this list is provisional):

Introduction - Region Benefits from Nearshoring Boost

Global supply chains have been rocked by a series of shocks in recent years, from the impact of the Covid pandemic to a rise in geopolitical tensions and trade barriers. Many companies have reacted by shifting production closer to where demand is, and Central and Eastern Europe has been one of the beneficiaries, with Intel, LG, Bosch and Ikea among those investing in the region. 

Poland’s Ukrainian Entrepreneurs 

Ukrainian entrepreneurship has boomed as the country has welcomed as many as a million refugees since the outbreak of the all-out war against Russia. In the first two years of the war nearly 50,000 Ukrainian owned businesses were established in Poland or expanded there significantly, and some of them have become household names. 

Serbia’s Expo Hopes

Expo 2027 promises to be Serbia’s big break in the international business world where Belgrade hopes to showcase its development and readiness for big business. We report on the country’s push for the prime time. 

Czechia’s Beer Challenge

Beer is responsible for close to a full per cent of Czech GDP once agriculture, machinery, manufacturing and marketing are taken into account. Over 60,000 people work in the industry, and it generates over €1bn in government revenue. Yet Czechs are drinking less beer than they used to, so exports and tourism-related revenues are becoming increasingly important for the industry.  

Eset: Slovakia’s Cybersecurity Champion 

Headquartered in Bratislava, 34 year-old software group Eset has developed a global cybersecurity presence with customers in 200 countries, becoming a European champion as companies defend themselves against hostile actors. 

Hungary’s Asset Revamp

Investors are expecting a revamp of asset ownership in Hungary, after longstanding premier Viktor Orban was replaced by Peter Magyar. We look at the potential opportunities in real estate, corporate and financial assets. 

Defence Demand

The war in Ukraine has prompted a rethink of defence priorities across the region, with businesses pivoting to new models in response. One example is Romania's Oves Enterprises, a software company which has shifted to the military drone sector via a partnership with Ukrainian drone manufacturer Edrone.

Croatia’s Tourism Shift 

Croatia has long been a major tourism centre, with nearly a quarter of its GDP related to the industry. But, with much of the revenue seasonal, the country has been making efforts to find year-round business from the sector. The boat servicing industry has been one of the targets, with companies such as ACI, Marina Punat, D-Marin and dozens of shipyards now active in the market.
