The X-HEC Data Science & AI for Business Master's degree is once again ranked third in the world in the 2025 QS in Business Analytics ranking, as it has been for the previous three years. 

The QS Masters in Business Analytics ranking includes 164 programs in its 2025 edition, compared with 149 in the previous edition.

The QS ranking is based on five criteria: Employability, Alumni Outcomes, Thought Leadership, Value for Money, and Class & Faculty Diversity.

The program continues to stand out for its excellent reputation with employers. It thus retains the top spot in the rankings on this criterion achieved in 2023, and also ranks 1st for recognition of its teaching staff and their research, as in the 2024 edition. It also improved its score in terms of return on investment for students, moving up from 13th to 9th place.

Launched in 2016 and taught jointly by École polytechnique and HEC Paris, this highly selective, internationally-focused Master's program offers its students the opportunity to study at two of the world's leading institutions in the fields of engineering and management.
