Best Business Schools in Africa

EduRank

Below is a list of best universities in Africa ranked based on their research performance in Business. A graph of 3.23M citations received by 368K academic papers made by 342 universities in Africa was used to calculate publications' ratings, which then were adjusted for release dates and added to final scores.

We don't distinguish between undergraduate and graduate programs nor do we adjust for current majors offered. You can find information about granted degrees on a university page but always double-check with the university website.
