AMBA - an accreditation for MBA programmes

Thousands and thousands of MBA programmes are offered all over the world. However, only approximately 160 of these are accredited by AMBA. The accreditation is granted only the best programmes after rigorous examination. The programmes that are accredited have proven that they have attained a high international quality and meet the criteria set for the accreditation. During the accreditation process the university/business school that offers the programme, the faculty, the students and the curricula of the programme are all reviewed.
