The rankings, which are based on a survey of student and recent graduates' feedback, come after significant investment in the MBA programme, including new facilities and career enhancements.
This recognition also follows the AMBA accreditation achieved by the school's Executive MBA (EMBA) this summer, which saw it join the ranks of the top 1% of business schools in the world to be triple accredited.
Professor Ian Clarke, Dean of University of Edinburgh Business School, said:
"This is an incredible result, and the product of a significant commitment we’ve placed in enhancing our MBA programmes.
"Part of our mission is to develop responsible, effective leaders and inspire minds, and this latest announcement marks another important step on that journey."
"I'd like to thank the entire MBA team — both professional and teaching staff — for all the work they have been doing in this area for the last few years, as well as all those students who’ve been part of this story, past and present."
