UvA EB receives EQUIS reaccreditation for 5 years

Published on 20-03-2024

The EQUIS Accreditation Board has granted reaccreditation to UvA Economics and Business (UvA EB) for 5 years. This is a crowning achievement for all staff and students. With this reaccreditation UvA EB retains the prestigious ‘Triple Crown’ accreditation by AACSB, AMBA, and EQUIS.

In December 2023 a committee of 3 international deans of European business schools and a representative from industry visited UvA EB. They held three days of interviews with representatives from management, the education and research directors, academic staff, supporting staff, students, external contacts and alumni. The visit was a great success.

The committee is impressed by the high quality of teaching, pioneering research and the impact of students, staff and alumni.

According to the committee, UvA EB is ‘a business school of high repute’. The strong research reputation, the high level of teaching, the high level of internationalisation and the high degree to which ERS (ethics, responsibility and sustainability) is reflected in teaching and research were considered by the committee as very strong points.

“I am delighted with the EQUIS reaccreditation for 5 years. I want to thank all UvA EB colleagues, students and our Advisory Board who helped in achieving this fantastic result. It was a truly insightful journey that has helped us to substantially improve our strategy and policies. We are looking forward to further improving ourselves with the ultimate objective with the ultimate objective of having the best possible positive influence on society through teaching, research and impact.”
