Members of AMBA’s visiting accreditation panel, representing senior management at AMBA-accredited Business Schools globally, commended the widening participation strategy of the School.

The panel also commented on the very supportive and engaged network of employers, who spoke very positively about their engagement with the School and the quality of the graduates that they hire. The panel noted the start-up incubator which demonstrated the school’s commitment to entrepreneurship and the success of this could be seen in the companies and jobs created through it.

Its accreditation process reflects this commitment to fostering innovation, and demanding Business Schools to perform at the highest level continually
