Management School celebrates AMBA reaccreditation
Following on from an assessment visit in October, the International Accreditation Advisory Board has officially confirmed that the University of Liverpool’s Management School has received an AMBA (Association of MBAs) re-accreditation for an additional five years.
This comes after the School’s initial accreditation in 2020 which saw it earn its place amongst an elite group of business schools to hold a gold standard triple accreditation.
AMBA’s accreditation panel assesses MBA programmes to ensure factors such as teaching, learning, career development and employability meet the highest standards.
Dr John Byrom, Associate Dean (MBA), comments that “this is a fantastic achievement and emphasises the quality portfolio of MBA programmes that the University of Liverpool Management School offers.”
Assessing the School’s Liverpool MBA, Football Industries MBA and the Online MBA, the panel specifically highlighted the School’s collegiate and confident working environment owing to the committed and ambitious leadership on display.
The panel also spotlighted the quality of the School’s research – describing it as ‘academically rigorous and scholastically relevant’ and lauding the established and developing research centres.
Additionally, the diversity and quality of the student and alumni community across all three MBA programmes was noted as another asset by the panel.
On the whole, AMBA accredits just 2% of business schools worldwide, and is regarded as representing the highest standard of achievement in postgraduate education.
Such re-accreditation affirms the University of Liverpool’s Management School position as world-leading and upholds the MBA programmes as holding the best standards in teaching, curriculum, student interaction and innovation.
AMBA accreditation also grants current MBA students and recent MBA alumni of the University of Liverpool Management School access to AMBA’s global member community of more than 55,000 students and alumni in more than 150 countries on a free basis, for networking, thought leadership, career development, and a variety of other benefits.
