Choosing where in the world to study at business school is tricky. 

There are many options out there. So it helps to hear from candidates who’ve done it themselves.

Top Countries For Business School Candidates is our in-depth report into state of the business school market, which we put together with our partners at the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC).

The report shows where business school candidates want to study, breaking that down by type of program, the citizenship of the candidate, and whether they’re a millennial or Generation Z.

Here, we highlight the top 10 most popular countries from the report as a whole.

And, for each country, we recorded a video blog with an international business school student who tells you why they chose to study there, the pros, and the cons.
