The University of Sussex Business School has achieved strong recognition in two major rankings, with Marketing ranked 8th in the UK in the Guardian University Guide 2026 and both Marketing and Supply Chain Management placed among the world’s top 100 in the QS Business Masters Rankings 2026.
The Guardian University Guide evaluates UK universities using student-focused measures such as teaching quality, student satisfaction, graduate employability, and staff-to-student ratios. Among 77 universities assessed in this subject for this year’s guide, Marketing at the Business School stood out as the School’s highest-ranked subject, securing a place in the UK’s top 10.
The QS Business Masters Rankings 2026 showcased the School's strong international reputation for excellence. We achieved a position within the global top 100 for both the Master's in Marketing, ranking in the 91–100 global band, and the Master's in Supply Chain Management, where we placed in the 81–90 range.
Our programmes are also ranked in the QS Master's rankings for Finance and Management, as well as the Global MBA.
"These results are evidence of the outstanding work of faculty members, who have worked so hard to provide a globally recognised education that sets our students up for excellent careers. We are especially proud that our programmes have been recognised for their diversity, with all five of our QS-ranked courses scoring above the world average. This speaks to our commitment to fostering an inclusive international community that gives the next generation of business leaders the global perspective they need to thrive", commented Professor Ingrid Woolard, Executive Dean of the Business School.
The recent rankings highlight the Business School's growing reputation for excellence, inclusivity, and global reach.
