Undergoing external audits and engaging in academic networks are essential components in this work. This commitment has resulted in international accreditations and a ranking on the Financial Times list of the best business schools in Europe.
The double accreditation verifies that our education and research is quality assured and enable us to attract highly qualified international students and faculty. It also means that our students have even more power when applying for attractive jobs after graduation.
We are also proud to have specific environmental Certification and be a signatory of the United Nations Principles of Management Education (PRME), which further supports our commitment to continuous improvement in sustainability and educating for responsible business practice.
