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.
