The University of Sussex Business School has received re-accreditation from the Association of MBAs (AMBA) for a further five years. Accreditation from the Association of MBAs represents the highest standard of achievement in post-graduate business education. Its rigorous assessment criteria ensure that only the highest-calibre programmes which demonstrate the best standards in teaching, curriculum, and student interaction achieve Association of MBAs accreditation.

Professor Steven McGuire, Dean of the University of Sussex Business School said: “We are delighted to have been re-accredited by AMBA for a further five years. This recognises the University of Sussex Business School’s dedication and commitment to incorporating our research strengths into the heart of the MBA programme, to help develop the leadership needed in today’s disrupted business environment.”

Members of AMBA’s accreditation panel, representing senior management at AMBA-accredited business schools globally, commended the research strengths of the business school which are used to inform the MBA teaching. The high-quality teaching facilities at the school were also commended.

AMBA accreditation is international in scope and reach, and AMBA works under the belief that accredited programmes should be of the highest standard and reflect changing trends and innovation in post-graduate management education. Its accreditation process reflects this commitment to fostering innovation, and demanding business schools to perform at the highest level continually.

Andrew Main Wilson, Chief Executive of the Association of MBAs and Business Graduates Association (BGA) said: “I am delighted that the University of Sussex Business School has received re-accreditation. This renowned business school plays an important part in our international network of business schools. It is well known for its research capabilities. I look forward to working with this school in the future.’

The University of Sussex Business School recently received EQUIS re-accreditation by the European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD), maintaining its place among the top business schools worldwide.
