These are the 19 best-value MBAs from Europe's elite business schools

Europe has some of the best business schools in the world, and the graduates getting MBAs often see their salaries explode in the years afterwards.

But which are the most financially worthwhile for the students actually going? How quickly can they make back the money they spend on the MBA after they finish?

We took the recently published tuition fee data from the QS/Top MBA global rankings, and used the top 25 European institutions in the ranks as the elite schools.

We also looked at the salary data from the Financial Times' 2014 European Business Schools rankings. The FT looks at the salary of graduates of each school's MBA programme three years after graduation, compared to salaries before the course began. Nineteen of the 25 best Top MBA schools were covered by the FT.

With this, we worked out what proportion of the total fees you could have paid off with the salary increase you saw over the three years after you finished the course. Of course, that salary increase can't all be put down to the school, but it's a good gauge of how quickly graduates are able to recoup the cost of the fees.
