The University of Liverpool Management School is one of an elite group of institutions worldwide to be AACSB Accredited, which represents the highest achievement for an educational institution and its college of business. Only five per cent of business schools worldwide have been awarded the accreditation.
AACSB Accreditation Standards require a high quality teaching environment, a commitment to continuous improvement, and curricula responsive to the needs of businesses. This achievement means that not only has the Management School met specific standards of excellence, but has also made a commitment to on-going improvement to ensure that the institution will continue to deliver high quality education to its students.
AACSB- Accredited Schools produce graduates that are highly skilled and more desirable to employers than other non-accredited schools.
