Cork University Business School (CUBS) at the University College Cork (UCC) has officially received re-accreditation from the Association of MBAs (AMBA), one of the world’s leading authorities in post-graduate business education, demonstrating its continuing commitment to excellence in management education.
Upon receiving AMBA accreditation, all current MBA and recent MBA alumni of CUBS UCC are invited to join AMBA’s global member community of more than 60,000 students and alumni in more than 150 countries on a free basis, for networking, thought leadership, career development, and a variety of benefits.
Accreditation from the Association of MBAs represents the highest standard of achievement in post-graduate business education. Its rigorous assessment criteria ensure that only the highest-calibre programmes which demonstrate the best standards in teaching, curriculum, and student interaction achieve Association of MBAs accreditation.
Cork University Business School (CUBS) is part University College Cork (UCC) and based in Cork, Ireland.
During the accreditation process conducted by AMBA, members of the accreditation panel, representing senior management, commended how well the school is connected with the local community, with both students and alumni recognising how much value this adds to their experience.
The panel also noted that the EMBA benefited from a committed and passionate team. The programme has two MBA directors, who work in collaboration with each other. This was seen to add value and stakeholders mentioned how supportive and available the team were.
Interim Dean of Cork University Business School, Professor Anthony McDonnell stated, “We are proud to be re-accredited after a rigorous peer review process and my thanks to all involved in our MBA programme, especially our exceptional faculty, professional staff, talented students, alumni and wider community who continue to come together to support and challenge one another in helping realise the CUBS’ vision of shaping leaders for a sustainable future”.
“The importance of this accreditation is that it offers external validation of the quality of the education offered and the faculty and support that enables to deliver a world class MBA”.
AMBA accreditation is international in scope and reach, and AMBA works under the belief that accredited programmes should be of the highest standard and consider changing trends and innovation in post-graduate management education. Its accreditation process reflects this commitment to fostering innovation, and demanding business schools to perform at the highest level continually.
Andrew Main Wilson, Chief Executive of the Association of MBAs and Business Graduates Association (BGA) said: “I would like to congratulate everyone who worked towards this accreditation at Cork University Business School. The school clearly provides a supportive and community based approach to its world leading educational delivery. I look forward to working with this school in the future.”
