The reaccreditation has been awarded for the full, five-year term and includes the School’s Dubai campus for the first time following a rigorous assessment process, including peer review team visits to both the Birmingham and Dubai campuses.
Professor Edgar Meyer, Dean of Birmingham Business School, said: "The reaccreditation by EQUIS is a testament to Birmingham Business School's ongoing pursuit of excellence and dedication to delivering high-quality business education.
