Nanyang Business School of NTU Singapore has achieved both AACSB and EQUIS accreditations. The AACSB and EQUIS accreditations are significant benchmarks for evaluating the quality of MBA programmes globally. Here are the reasons why these accreditations are important considerations when selecting an MBA programme:

Quality Assurance: AACSB accreditation is a signal of high-quality standards in business education.

Comprehensive Evaluation: Accreditation involves a thorough evaluation of a business school's teaching, faculty, services, and student quality. This comprehensive review ensures that the institution meets global standards of excellence​​.

Continuous Improvement: Accredited schools are committed to continuous improvement. They regularly undergo evaluations and reviews to maintain their accreditation status. This ensures that the school remains up to date with the latest developments in business education and maintains a high standard of quality.

Global Recognition: AACSB and EQUIS are recognized worldwide. If you plan to pursue a career in business or work internationally, having a degree from an accredited business school can enhance your credibility and marketability. Employers and organizations often value graduates from accredited institutions because they know that these graduates have received a comprehensive and reputable education.
