Table notesAlthough the headline ranking figures show the relative postions of each institution, the pattern of clustering among the schools is equally significant. Some 230 points separate the top programmes, HEC Paris, from the school ranked number 45. The top 12 participants, from HEC Paris to Grenoble Graduate School of Business, form the top group of pre-experience Masters in Finance providers. The second group, headed by Peking University: Guanghua, spans schools ranked from 13 to 33, a range of some 55 points in total. Differences between schools are small within this group. The remaining 11 schools headed by Lancaster University Management School make up the third group.
