Sweden’s first AMBA-accredited Executive MBA programme
Since 2013, the School of Business, Economics and Law at the University of Gothenburg is accredited by AMBA, the Association of MBAs. This impartial token of quality is internationally considered to be the most prestigious accreditation an Executive MBA programme can get.
AMBA is an international independent organisation which accredits postgraduate business programmes at business schools worldwide. AMBA accreditation defines a global standard for Executive MBA and MBA programmes. Only 290 business schools (June 2021) have received AMBA accreditation, which equals approximately two percent of all business schools in the world.
Triple Crown Accreditation
The School of Business, Economics and Law at the University of Gothenburg is the first business school in Sweden holding the three most prestigious international accreditations: AACSB, AMBA and EQUIS. These schools are usually referred to as being “Triple Crown” accredited. Only some 121 business schools in the world are, corresponding to less than 1% of all business schools in the world.
Plats: Handelshögskolan vid Göteborgs universitet
At the School of Business, Economics and Law at the University of Gothenburg you find research and education with global perspectives and a focus on sustainable development.
Research and education at our School have a purpose: To make an impact and thus contribute to the advancement of society at large. This presupposes an active engagement in contemporary societal development and close collaboration with the surrounding society. We act on problems facing the world today, and analyse them with the most appropriate tools available. Sometimes this involves cross-disciplinary approaches, and the School’s broad set of academic disciplines, and our connection to the University, are important assets.
The School is accredited by EQUIS, AACSB and AMBA. This "Triple Crown" accreditation is valuable proof that education, research and collaborations maintain an internationally high quality, and confirms that we are a strong business school, active in an international arena, continually developing in line with the requirements and changes around us.
A global perspective
In a spirit of openness to a globalising world, our Executive MBA programme includes two separate overseas modules at our partner universities; the National University in Singapore and the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIMB), India.*
As a participant to our Executive MBA programme you will travel to Asia with intensive fulltime schedules. During a residency, you typically spend mornings on campus with academic workshops lead by the local faculty. Afternoons are devoted to well-prepared field trips to multinational and local companies and organisations. Evenings are used for debriefing and reflection.
By combining the learning from the academic workshops with the experiential learning from the field trips, you will acquire a truly global perspective to undertaking business with Asia. Even if your organisation does not actively undertake business with Asia today, the developments in these markets will certainly affect you and your organization indirectly.
