The Open University Business School (OUBS) has maintained its EFMD Quality Improvement System (EQUIS) international accreditation. EQUIS is one of the three premier accrediting organisations for business schools worldwide and makes up one third of OUBS’ triple accreditation status.
To maintain this prestigious award, the Business School must satisfy a robust set of quality standards set out by EQUIS, with reviews being held every three to five years. Quality standards are met by demonstrating a commitment to areas such as strategic management, learner success, impactful thought leadership, societal impact and a commitment to continuous improvement.
The review, held over three days, involved more than 70 staff, partners and students and saw the Peer Review Team (PRT) commend the Business School on:
‘I’m delighted and proud to see the Business School reaccredited by EQUIS for a further 3 years. I thank all those staff who made such an important contribution to our achievement of this outcome. What is most gratifying is to see the Business School recognise that the EQUIS accreditation is not simply a badge or a surrogate for conveying the breadth and depth of our quality and impact in business education and practice, but rather it reflects our ongoing commitment to continuous improvement – that is the key advantage of having such international recognition.’
