Alliance Manchester Business School has this week received a further five years of accreditation from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB).

This means AMBS continues to sit amongst the top 1% of business schools globally that enjoys triple accreditation status from EQUIS, AMBA and AACSB. The School has enjoyed AACSB accreditation for over twenty years, starting in 2001.

Head of School, Professor Fiona Devine said: "This re-accreditation demonstrates the excellent research and teaching at our school. We must use this accolade as we look ahead and address the challenges presented by an extremely competitive market, made ever more complex by unprecedented economic and political uncertainty."

AACSB provides internationally recognised, specialised accreditation for business and accounting programmes at the bachelor's, master's, and doctoral level. The AACSB accreditation standards challenge post-secondary educators to pursue excellence and continuous improvement throughout their business programmes. AACSB accreditation is known, worldwide, as the longest standing, most recognised form of specialised/professional accreditation an institution and its business programmes can earn.
