Once the Palmes of Excellence classification is established, institutions featured in the Eduniversal Official Selection are further evaluated by their peers through a survey known as the Deans’ Vote. This final metric determines each institution’s position within its country and Palme of Excellence league.

The Deans’ Vote is a unique and essential component of the Eduniversal Best Business Schools ranking methodology. Conducted annually on the dedicated platform www.eduniversal-deans-vote.com, the survey invites the Deans and Directors of the +1,000 Best Business Schools ranked by Eduniversal to confidentially recommend other institutions they recognize for their academic excellence.

This peer recommendation process adds a qualitative, human dimension to the rankings, drawing on the collective expertise, experience, and global perspective of leading academic decision-makers. By integrating the insights of the international academic community, the Deans’ Vote enhances the credibility, relevance, and prestige of the Eduniversal rankings.
