AMBA - Association of MBAs

The Association of MBAs (AMBA) describes its own accreditation as giving international credibility to a school’s MBA programmes as well as giving students reassurance of the value of an accredited school’s MBA in a market consisting of many hundreds of MBA programmes worldwide.

In January 2010 AMBA recommended the full re-accreditation of the MBA and DBA programmes for the maximum five years.

EQUIS - The European Quality Improvement System

EQUIS is the leading international business school accreditation system, assessing institutions as a whole for their contribution to the global business community. Business schools that are accredited by EQUIS must demonstrate 'balance between high academic quality and the professional relevance provided by close interaction with the corporate world.' Areas of assessment include research, e-learning units, executive education provision and community outreach.

Institutions that earn accreditation confirm their commitment to quality and continuous improvement through a rigorous and comprehensive peer review.’
