Loughborough University’s School of Business and Economics gets EQUIS seal of approval
Loughborough University’s School of Business and Economics has been awarded EQUIS accreditation by the European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD), the benchmarking system recognised globally as an accreditation body of quality in management education.
The award puts the School in the elite 1% of business schools that have been EQUIS accredited out of an estimated 12000 institutions worldwide.
Among the factors assessed by EQUIS are the academic quality and professional relevance of all programmes, the degree of engagement with business and industry, the quality of the learning environment and the level of an institution’s commitment to internationalisation.
The accreditation body, based in Brussels and boasting over 750 international member organisations, aims to raise the standard of management education around the world.
Loughborough University’s business school first became EQUIS accredited in 2008. The successful re-accreditation as the School of Business and Economics in 2011 further cements the School’s reputation as a leading provider of education and research in business, economics and finance. Students at the School can be assured that their qualification is internationally recognised – an important factor in today’s global business environment.
Commenting on the achievement, Dean of Business and Economics Angus Laing said: “This success is a testimony to our strengths and marks an important milestone in our ongoing development as a genuinely world class School.”
