Milpark Business School receives Association of MBAs (AMBA) re-accreditation
Milpark Business School has officially received re-accreditation from the Association of MBAs (AMBA), one of the world’s leading authorities in post-graduate business education, demonstrating its continuing commitment to excellence in management education.
Upon receiving AMBA re-accreditation, all current MBA and recent MBA alumni of Milpark Business School are invited to continue to be part of AMBA’s global member community of more than 60,000 students and alumni in more than 150 countries on a free basis, for networking, thought leadership, career development, and a variety of benefits.
Accreditation from AMBA 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 AMBA accreditation.
Milpark Education’s Business School, with its head office in Cape Town, South Africa, is home to the only fully online MBA in Africa that is AMBA accredited. The mission of Milpark Education is: “To empower people to become more than they dared imagine, unlocking their potential to help shape our collective future.”
During the re-accreditation process conducted by AMBA, members of the accreditation panel, representing senior management from global business schools, commended the school’s shift in focus to online delivery. The aim of this shift has been to provide wider access to education for South African society. This was seen to be a compelling narrative which the panel thought would show results in future student recruitment.
The panel also noted that the students they met during the assessment consistently praised the Milpark Education staff for the support they received on their MBA learning journey.
Finally, the panel were impressed that the student body was so diverse.
Segran Nair, Director of the Business School, said, "We are once again proud that our Business School has been reaccredited by the Association of MBA's (AMBA). As the only online MBA programme in Africa to hold this esteemed accreditation, it's humbling to be recognized for our commitment to excellence and global standards in business education."
AMBA accreditation is international in scope and reach, and AMBA works under the belief that accredited programmes should be of the highest standard and consider 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: “Congratulations to Milpark Business School for receiving this re-accreditation. Accreditation shows the school is of the very top quality and it is very fitting that Milpark has received this. The school should be proud of its new strategy and the staff who clearly work extremely hard to give students a personalised and unique experience.”
