The Institute of Industry Management, the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration (RANEPA), has officially received re-accreditation from the Association of MBAs (AMBA), one of the world’s leading authorities on post-graduate business education, demonstrating its continuing commitment to excellence in management education.
Upon receiving AMBA accreditation, all current MBA students and MBA alumni of The Institute of Industry Management are invited to join AMBA’s global member community of more than 50,000 students and alumni in more than 150 countries on a free basis, for networking, thought leadership, career development, and a variety of benefits.
Accreditation from the Association of MBAs (AMBA) represents the highest standard of achievement in post-graduate business education. Its rigorous assessment criteria ensure that only the highest-calibre programmes which demonstrate the best standards in teaching, curriculum, and student interaction achieve Association of MBAs accreditation.
The Institute of Industry Management (IIM) is part of The Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration (RANEPA). RANEPA is the largest university in Russia with 54 affiliates all over Russia. AMBA accredits two Real Estate Management MBA’s at the School, one modular and one which is run in the evening.
Members of AMBA’s accreditation panel, representing senior management at AMBA-accredited Business Schools globally, commended the distinctiveness of the School’s MBA programmes, due to its focus on Real Estate which is unique among AMBA-accredited institutions around the world. The panel also noted the School was meeting market demand in the creation of its modular MBA.
The professional team at the School was also commended; the panel thought the team was impressively gender diverse and the School was also committed to the pastoral wellbeing of students.
Ivan Fedotov, RANEPA Vice Rector, IIM Director, said, ‘We are proud to be awarded the mark of distinction for the second time. This is a great achievement for our entire team. The AMBA accreditation proves that the IIM RANEPA Real Estate Management MBA programme is ranked among the world’s leading Business Schools programmes. Our students are guaranteed to receive a benchmark education that would increase their value both in Russian and international labour markets’.
AMBA accreditation is international in scope and reach, and AMBA works under the belief that accredited programmes should be of the highest standard and reflect changing trends and innovation in post-graduate management education. Its accreditation process reflects this commitment to fostering innovation, and demanding Business Schools to perform at the highest level continually.
Andrew Main Wilson, Chief Executive of the Association of MBAs and Business Graduates Association (BGA), said, ‘The Institute of Industry Management is a unique and important part of our network, as it has the only AMBA-accredited programmes which specialise in Real Estate.
