Stockholm Business School, Stockholm University, has received joint accreditation from AMBA & BGA
Stockholm Business School is one of the largest departments of Stockholm University. The University, which dates back to 1878, is a regional centre for research and education.
The assessors praised Stockholm Business School for being dedicated to the pastoral wellbeing of participants.
The panel also mentioned that the school has new facilities which were said to provide a variety of learning environments which are all of excellent quality.
Finally, the panel saw that there were good links with employers.
Upon receiving the AMBA accreditation, all current and recent graduates of the school's MBA portfolio are invited to join AMBA's global membership network, which comprises approximately 70,000 students and alumni from over 150 countries.
Meanwhile, all undergraduates and alumni from any of the business school’s programmes are invited to join BGA’s individual membership network. Through both these organisations, students and graduates can strengthen a community that acts as a force for good in management thought and practice, through exclusive events and business content.
AMBA & BGA accreditation is international in scope and reach, and the organisation works with senior academics at top educational institutions around the world, to update accreditation criteria continuously and maintain one unique, in-depth, and detailed approach.
AMBA & BGA believes accredited schools should be of the highest standard and reflect changing trends and innovation in post-graduate management education. As such, the accreditation process reflects this commitment to fostering innovation and challenges business schools to perform at the highest level continuously.
Fredrik Nordin, Head of School at Stockholm Business School, said: “We're very pleased to, once again, receive AMBA accreditation for our Executive MBA programme and, with its strong emphasis on responsible management practice and continuous improvement, to also receive BGA accreditation. These awards recognise the standards of quality that have been set at SBS, and the tremendous efforts of our faculty, staff, students, and supportive alumni. We're very grateful to AMBA - BGA for their guidance and support throughout the process".
Andrew Main Wilson, Chief Executive of AMBA & BGA, said: “I am delighted that Stockholm Business School is being welcomed into both the AMBA and the BGA family. While the school was already accredited by AMBA, by joining BGA it is showing its commitment to joining a network striving to create excellence in management education for the good of society.”
