Accreditations
We have the prestigious EQUIS (European Quality Improvement System) which is the leading international system of quality assessment, improvement, and accreditation of higher education institutions in management and business administration, run by the European Quality for Foundation for Management Development.

We were among the first business schools in the UK to receive portfolio accreditation for all our MBA programmes (including full-time, executive part-time and distance-learning MBAs) from AMBA (Association of MBAs)

Our MSc in Finance, Accounting and Management, MSc in International Business and Management and MSc in Management are among the relatively small number of programmes to have received pre-experience master's in general management (PEMM) accreditation from the Association of MBAs (AMBA). We look to include the other MSc programmes when AMBA agrees upon a broader definition as to which MScs it is happy to accredit.

Our MSc in Human Resource Management has accreditation from the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), the leading UK professional body for HR specialists. This recognises that the degree meets rigorous academic and professional standards and means that, alongside your degree studies, you can also achieve CIPD graduate membership.
We have full ESRC (Economic and Social Research Council) accreditation for our research-training programme. This covers both our PhD and DBA programmes.
