Our rankings are based on two surveys, completed by course leaders and alumni who graduated three years prior to publication – meaning the 2026 edition is based on responses from the classes of 2023. Each course is given a score out of 100 based on a weighted average of results from both the graduate and course leader surveys. See below for full methodology.
