The ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã has earned a prestigious AACSB accreditation, in recognition of its excellence in business education.
The honour, which puts the ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã Management School among the top 6% of business schools globally, is synonymous with the highest standards of quality in business programmes.
Announcing the accreditation, AACSB International (AACSB), the longest serving global accrediting body for business schools and the largest business education network in the world, praised the ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã Management School for its “dedication to the higher education industry”.
The accolade follows a rigorous approval process and is the latest recognition of the ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã’s reputation for innovation and for research that has a direct impact on society.
Professor Sir Gerry McCormac, Principal and Vice-Chancellor of the ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã, said: “Earning AACSB accreditation is the beginning of another important chapter for the ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã and our Management School. The advantages of being part of the AACSB community are significant, benefitting our staff, our students studying with us in ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã and overseas, our partners, and the region we support.”
Professor Kevin Grant, Dean of the ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã Management School, said: “AACSB accreditation is not just a seal of approval, it is a testament to the relentless pursuit of excellence in business education shown by the ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã and our Management School. It signifies our commitment to achieving the highest standards, to innovation and to continuous improvement as we continue to shape future leaders who will make a difference in society and the world.”
The ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã and its Management School join more than 1,000 institutions across 60 countries holding AACSB accreditation, representing less than 6 per cent of the world's schools offering business degree programs.
Stephanie M. Bryant, executive vice president and chief accreditation officer of AACSB, based in the USA, said: “ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã’s commitment to earning accreditation is a true reflection of their dedication -—not only to their students, alumni network, and greater business community, but to the higher education industry as a whole.”
Stephanie added: “AACSB accreditation recognises institutions that have demonstrated a focus on excellence in all areas, including teaching, research, curriculum development, and student learning.”
