International Accreditation
The School of Business is accredited with the two leading international accreditation bodies - EQUIS and AACSB International.
EQUIS
European Quality Improvement System
Brussels, Belgium
Accredited 2004
Run by the Brussels-based European Foundation for Management Development (efmd), the fundamental objective of EQUIS is to raise the standard of management education worldwide.
To become accredited, a business school must demonstrate a high quality across all their activities (programmes, research, community service etc) and a high degree of internationalisation. EQUIS also places great importance on the degree of professional relevance a School achieves through close consultation with the business community.
AACSB International
Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business
Florida, USA
Accredited 2006
Established in the United States in 1916, AACSB International is an association of educational institutions, businesses, and other organisations devoted to the advancement of management education.
AACSB accreditation is an assurance of not only teaching and research excellence, but also the continuous improvement required to compete successfully in the rapidly changing economic climate.
