The recognition highlights TAU’s MBA as one of the programs best preparing graduates for global career success

Tel Aviv University’s MBA program, offered by the Coller School of Management, has been included in LinkedIn’s 2025 Top MBA Programs, an annual global ranking of the 100 business schools that best set their alumni up for long-term career growth. Published by LinkedIn News, the list is based exclusively on LinkedIn data analyzing the career outcomes of millions of MBA alumni worldwide.

Laura Lorenzetti, Executive Editor at LinkedIn, said:

“LinkedIn’s Top MBA list shines a spotlight on schools whose graduates go on to achieve meaningful, sustained career growth, thanks to the skills, networks, and opportunities they gain during the program. The ranking is designed to be a practical guide for prospective students, offering a data-driven look at career outcomes and how alumni are building their careers after graduation.”

About the ranking

The Top MBA Programs methodology is based exclusively on LinkedIn’s professional data and evaluates programs across five key pillars:

• Hiring and demand: job placement rates and labor market demand for recent cohorts (2019–2024).
• Ability to advance: promotion rates and speed to senior leadership roles.
• Network strength: connectivity, quality, and growth of alumni professional networks.
• Leadership potential: percentage of alumni with C-suite or entrepreneurship experience.
• Diversity: gender parity within recent graduate cohorts.

To be eligible, programs must be full-time, AACSB or EQUIS-accredited, and have at least 1,500 alumni overall with at least 400 graduates between 2019 and 2024. Executive, part-time, and certificate-based MBAs are excluded.

The 2025 list features 100 business schools globally and is published in six languages: English, French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, and Italian.

Preparing leaders for tomorrow

The Coller School of Management equips students with the skills, networks, and mindset needed to thrive in a fast-changing global economy. A hallmark of the program is its integration of Artificial Intelligence across the curriculum. Rather than offered as a stand-alone track, AI tools and applications are woven directly into both core and advanced courses – from Marketing Management and Data Science to Fintech and Innovation in Product Development. Workshops for students and faculty further ensure that AI is approached not only as a powerful technology, but as a tool to be applied responsibly in real business contexts.

Located in the heart of Israel’s globally recognized Startup Nation, The Coller School of Management combines rigorous academics with close community ties to industry and innovation. Students gain hands-on exposure through specialized tracks such as the MBA Venture Track and the upcoming Deep-Tech MBA, along with practicum courses, startup competitions, hackathons, and real-world consulting projects that help commercialize university research. The program is supported by an ecosystem that spans the Coller Institute of Venture, the Dan Launchpad, and connections with industry leaders and investors.

Coller students also benefit from programs run by Tel Aviv University’s Entrepreneurship Center, which serves the entire University. These include the jumpTAU Multicultural Accelerator — where participants receive venture training, mentoring from senior business leaders, and exposure to investors, with graduates having raised over $185 million to date. Another initiative, Entrepreneurship on Campus, offers female master’s and doctoral students hands-on experience, senior mentorship, and a culminating Pitch Night before industry professionals.

Career development is central to the The Coller School of Management. Students receive unlimited one-on-one career coaching, tailored support for job search strategy, CV development, and interview preparation. A mentoring program connects them with senior alumni who are top managers and entrepreneurs, providing industry-specific guidance. Specialized services are also available for international students navigating both the Israeli job market and global opportunities. Beyond formal advising, students access interactive workshops, networking events, and career development activities tailored to their goals. Alumni maintain lifelong access to these services, making the Coller MBA, in their words, “a resource you’ll keep coming back to long after graduation.”

The recognition by LinkedIn highlights the The Coller School of Management’s unique position at the intersection of rigorous academics, innovation, and industry engagement — preparing graduates not only for immediate career advancement but for long-term leadership in a rapidly changing global economy.
