EDHEC Business School retains its place among elite MBA providers with AMBA re-accreditation

The Association of MBAs (AMBA) accreditation represents the highest standard of achievement in postgraduate business education and is earned only by the best post graduate management programmes.

AMBA accredits the Master of Business Administration (MBA), Master of Business Management (MBM) and Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) courses in only the top 3% of the world’s business schools.

AMBA’s 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. Its accreditation is international in scope and reach and we work with senior academics at top educational institutions around the world to continuously update accreditation criteria and maintain one unique, in-depth and detailed approach.

AMBA believes accredited programmes should be of the highest standard and reflect changing trends and innovation in postgraduate management education and as such the accreditation process reflects this commitment to fostering innovation, and challenges business schools to continuously perform at the highest level.

Members of AMBA’s visiting accreditation panel, representing senior management at AMBA-accredited Business Schools across three continents, commended EDHEC Business School for its careers services for MBA students, which it deemed among the best found at AMBA-accredited Schools.

The panel were also impressed with the School’s commitment to sustained, significant investment in facilities; the clarity with which the School has mapped programme learning objectives and outcomes to specific curriculum components; the transparency of the availability and criteria regarding MBA scholarships; and the depth of formative feedback provided to MBA students.

All current MBA students and recent alumni of EDHEC Business School are invited to join AMBA’s global member community of more than 40,000 students and alumni in more than 150 countries, for networking, thought leadership, career development and a variety of perks and benefits.

Andrew Main Wilson, Chief Executive of AMBA and the Business Graduates Association (BGA) said: ‘AMBA is a truly global business organisation and the only accrediting body that specifically focuses on accrediting MBA programmes.

‘We are very particular about who we accredit. In fact, AMBA accredits less than 3% of the world’s entire portfolio of Business Schools. Operating as both an accreditation and membership organisation, AMBA is unique in the postgraduate management field, as it brings together the business leaders of tomorrow with the thought leaders of today.

‘With its re-accreditation, EDHEC Business School remains a valued component of the world’s leading Business Schools. We value working closely with them and AMBA’s MBA members to ensure outstanding postgraduate management education continues to be the top priority for employers, governments and ambitious executives who will become the global business leaders of the future.’
