EQUIS is offered by EFMD (European Foundation for Management Development), an international non-profit organization based in Brussels that is dedicated to management development. As a comprehensive quality review system for business and management schools, EQUIS assesses the quality of business schools in 10 key areas (Context, Governance & Strategy, Programmes, Students, Faculty, Research & Development, Executive Education, Resources & Administration, Internationalisation, Ethics, Responsibility & Sustainability, and Connections with Practice). This accreditation assures that we are a business school of the highest international standards. Going forward, we will work to further improve the quality of the school, as well as prepare for the rigorous peer-review reaccreditation process.
