The School of Management at Swansea University provides a range of undergraduate and postgraduate degrees, as well as collaborative opportunities.
Swansea University School of Management has earned business accreditation from AACSB, the world's largest network and global standard-setting body for business education.
AACSB is the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. Their accreditation is recognised worldwide as the highest standard of quality, with only 6 per cent of the world’s leading business schools achieving AACSB accreditation and displaying the prestigious seal.
AACSB-accredited schools have successfully undergone a rigorous review process conducted by their peers in the business education community. The aim is to ensure that they have the resources, credentials, and commitment needed to provide students with a first-rate, future-focused business education.
The School of Management at Swansea University provides a range of undergraduate and postgraduate degrees, as well as collaborative opportunities. It prides itself on its record of innovative teaching and pioneering research and has strong links with industry and professional accrediting bodies.
AACSB accreditation ensures continuous improvement and provides focus for schools to deliver on their mission, innovate, and drive impact.
Professor Andrew Thomas, Dean of Swansea University School of Management, said:
“We are so proud of everyone at the School of Management on this amazing achievement. This level of acknowledgement marks a significant milestone in the School’s journey to becoming a recognised provider for business education alongside some of the world’s leading business schools. A huge well done to all the staff, students, and partners whose hard work and dedication made this possible.
Our School is an integrated, collaborative community of professionals, engaging in research-led scholarship, education and innovation to share value with all our stakeholders. With our students we co-create an experience that equips them to become socially and environmentally aware global citizens. The School is committed to supporting the civic and cultural mission of the University in Wales and globally, aligning our work to the sustainable development goals.”
Stephanie M. Bryant, executive vice president and chief accreditation officer of AACSB, said:
“AACSB accreditation recognizes institutions that have demonstrated a focus on excellence in all areas, including teaching, research, curriculum development, and student learning. We congratulate Swansea University, and Dean Prof. Andrew Thomas on earning accreditation and applaud the entire team, including the administration, faculty, staff, and students, for their roles in earning this respected honor.
“Swansea University’s commitment to earning accreditation is a true reflection of their dedication—not only to their students, alumni network, and greater business community, but to the higher education industry as a whole. Today’s students are tomorrow’s business leaders, and the addition of Swansea University to the network of AACSB-accredited business schools will have a lasting positive impact for their institution, both locally and globally.”
