BUC World Best Value Universities & Colleges Rankings

The BUC University Rankings (Best Value Universities & Colleges Rankings) is an annual global ranking of the most valuable universities, published by the Academy of Professional Management (APMI) in the UK, TBL and The Economic Observer. The ranking is conducted by the AME Accreditation for Management Education Committee, which operates under APMI and has extensive evaluation experience. The committee collaborates strategically with the Council for International Economics and Technology Administration, Beijing, The Economic Observer, IEC of Chinese Society of Educational Development Strategy, and TBL. The full title is: "BUC World Best Value Universities & Colleges Rankings."

Originally, APMI partnered with Swiss NEWS to launch the Best Value Business Schools Rankings, first published in 2008, making it one of the earliest global business school rankings. Typically, APMI updates the rankings annually. The Global Top 500 list evaluates institutions on factors like academic reputation, employer reputation, student-to-faculty ratio, research citations, student satisfaction, value, and international insertion, with an open and transparent survey approach.

In 2024, the TBL, APMI, AME, The Economic Observer, CIFTIS – China International Economics and Technology Administration Forum, JAARS Journal of Advanced Academic Research and Studies, ICCC of China Association for International Economic Cooperation, and the Council for International Economics and Technology Administration, Beijing, IEC of Chinese Society of Educational Development Strategy, jointly supported the release of the Global Top 500 rankings.

That same year, former Greek Foreign Minister George Katrougalos and former Malaysian Minister of Higher Education Dato' Sri Shafie Apdal served as chief advisors, presiding over the rankings release event.

BUC was established under the philosophy of 'seeking the most valuable educational institutions for everyone,' with the initiative and guidance of former Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou and former German President Christian Wulff, who will personally provided advisory support.
