Hull University Business School has been ranked as one of the top two per cent in the world.
The high praise comes after a re-accreditation from the prestigious Association of MBAs, a leading authority on post-graduate business education.
It is described as representing the highest standard of achievement, with university officials underlining how it demonstrates efforts to provide the highest-calibre teaching, curriculum and student interaction opportunities.
Professor Stephen Hardy, Dean of the Faculty of Business, Law and Politics at the University of Hull, said: “The University is delighted that we have been re-accredited by AMBA which serves to evidence our Business School’s commitment to providing excellence in educating future business leaders.
“This much valued partnership with AMBA also enables our students to maximise the benefits of such a successful association.”
AMBA officials praised both the academic and administrative staff – led by deputy head of school Dr Claire Hookham, and MBA academic director, Dr Nick Snowden – for their commitment to the success and wellbeing of the students, and upholding the highest standards within the programme.
The Hull University Business School was also commended for the way it prepares its faculty for MBA teaching.
Andrew Main Wilson, chief executive of the Association of MBAs and Business Graduates Association said: “I’m very pleased that Hull University Business School has achieved AMBA re-accreditation.
