Business School retains its triple accreditation status

AACSB logo

The Open University Business School (OUBS) has retained its prestigious Associate to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) international accreditation for a further six years. This accolade reaffirms our position as a leading, global, business school.  

We are proud that an external team of our peers commended our social mission, and recognised our pioneering approach to distance learning. They were impressed by our performance in the latest Research Excellence Framework (REF 2021) and our ability to influence policymakers through PolicyWISE.

Our reaccreditation upholds our school’s firm standing among a global community of business and management educators and researchers, committed to continuous improvement. Thank you to our amazing students and alumni involved in our recent visit.

The renewal of this accreditation from AACSB reaffirms our position as a leading business school and is a recognition of the impact that we have across the UK and internationally."

Head of The Open University Business School
