Our goal as educators is to make that link between scholarship and the real world for our students, and the Financial Times is our vehicle for doing that.

Improve student understanding
Students and educational institutions benefit hugely from a globalised curriculum. Teaching can no longer afford to be localised with the world increasingly connected.

A suite of learning tools
A global perspective can add real value to a faculty member’s classes, as it grounds the class theories in reality. Couple this with the ability to create reading lists through FT.com, and staff can quickly and easily construct a list of extra reading to amplify a student’s understanding of the real world.





Leverage our award-winning journalism
Stay informed, spot emerging risks and seize opportunities with our global reporting and expert commentary.
FT Professional equips businesses, governments and education institutions across the globe, with award-winning journalism, as well as specialist resources and tools to help inform better strategic and commercial decisions.
Authoritative news coverage
With the Financial Times, curricula is greatly enhanced with high-quality, unbiased news that complements study with real-life scenarios. Staff can bolster their teachings and improve student understanding with up-to-date examples from a trusted news source.










Using the FT as part of a Professional Subscription on a daily basis during my MSc year at SKEMA has proved to be very powerful. It provides you with everything you need to acquire a good culture of both the financial markets and the key forces which shape the daily news. It gives me more granularity regarding financial assets and market deals, something definitely helpful when coming to an interview.
