The University of Bradford’s business school is among the top two per cent in the world following an official re-accreditation.
The School of Management has won joint re-accreditation from the Association of MBAs and the Business Graduates Association, two of the world’s leading authorities on business education.
It is three years since the School of Management became the first business school in England to receive its initial joint accreditation from AMBA and BGA. A total of 300 of the world’s 16,000 business schools, including Bradford, are AMBA accredited, equivalent to two per cent.
Professor Sankar Sivarajah, Dean of the School of Management, says the latest re-accreditation shows that the university is delivering high levels of management education and research.
He said: “It’s important to maintain our accreditation as it gives reassurance from an external perspective that we are doing the right things.
“The hard bit is to maintain accreditation and consistently innovate and what we are doing in the forefront of business school education. It’s about delivering quality management education and impactful research.
“Thank you to all our colleagues, students, alumni and business community who have played their part in helping the School securing this re-accreditation.”
Bradford’s re-accreditation follows a two-day visit in September 2023 by a three-strong team of international business school leaders.
