Accreditation

Accredited by AACSB

AACSB International offers a set of standards that are relevant and applicable to all business programmes globally and which support and encourage excellence in management education worldwide.

AACSB International accreditation represents the highest standard of achievement for business schools worldwide. Institutions that earn accreditation confirm their commitment to quality and continuous improvement through a rigorous and comprehensive peer review. AACSB International accreditation is the hallmark of excellence in management education worldwide.

AACSB International accreditation assures stakeholders that business schools:

* Manage resources to achieve a vibrant and relevant mission
* Advance business and management knowledge through faculty scholarship
* Provide high-calibre teaching of quality and current curricula
* Cultivate meaningful interaction between students and a qualified faculty
* Produce graduates who have achieved specified learning goals

The University of Surrey achieved its accreditation in November 2005 after a rigorous application and assessment process, culminating in a visit from an accreditation panel.

Less than 15 per cent of the world´s business schools are accredited by the AACSB; so the School of Management was especially proud to join the elite group of less than 100 business schools in Europe holding AACSB accreditation.
