ZHAW School of Management and Law receives accreditation from AMBA

(CONNECT) The School of Management and Law (SML) at Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW) has received a third international accreditation at the highest level, according to a press release. The Association of MBAs (AMBA) in London has accredited the School of Management and Law. Following recognition by the AACSB (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business) in Tampa, Florida, and the European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS) in Brussels, the SML has thus received its third international accreditation and the exclusive status of the so-called Triple Crown.

"The Triple Crown is an important milestone and we are very proud to be one of the best business schools in the world. The AMBA & BGA accreditation we have now achieved is further independent proof of the quality of our programs," Professor Reto Steiner, Director of the School of Management and Law, is quoted as saying.

SML has received AMBA accreditation as a so-called Joint Accreditation AMBA-BGA. In addition to the MBA (Master of Business Administration), the organization as a whole has also been assessed by the Business Graduates Association (BGA). AMBA evaluates the Master's programs, in particular the MBA programs, and checks the qualifications of the teachers and lecturers.

In addition to the new accreditation, the SML has been accredited by AACSB International since 2015. According to the ZHAW, only around 6 percent of all international business schools are allowed to carry this seal of quality.

In 2023, the SML received EQUIS accreditation from the European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD). According to EQUIS, business schools are accredited with high standards in teaching, research and continuing education. ce/gba
