Quality
EQUIS, the European Quality Improvement System, is a leading international system of quality assessment, improvement, and accreditation of higher education institutions in management and business administration. Arjen van Witteloostuijn, the Dean of SBE, expressed his pride in this achievement, stating: "Obtaining not only AACSB Business but also Accounting accreditation was a milestone. Now, with the addition of EQUIS accreditation, we are further solidifying our position as a global leader in business and economics education. It reflects our unwavering dedication to excellence and the tireless efforts of our exceptional staff and students."
Network
Beyond the recognition of high-quality education and research, this new accreditation places SBE within an elite international network of business schools. The collaborative opportunities offered by this network open doors to new horizons in educational development and research. Many international partnerships and joint educational programs between universities often require the coveted AACSB and EQUIS accreditations, making SBE a popular partner on the global stage.
