      FHNW School of Business accredited by AACSB

      The seal of the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business identifies business school with high quality standards and social impact.

      The FHNW School of Business is happy to announce its accreditation with AACSB (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business). This accreditation is among the most internationally renowned accreditations for business schools. Only about five percent of all business schools worldwide are accredited by AACSB. This adds a new seal of quality to the degree programmes and continuing education as well as research and consulting at the FHNW School of Business.

      Highest quality in teaching and research

      To obtain accreditation, a school needs to have a clear mission and demonstrably employ first-class teaching methods. The underlying quality management guarantees modern standards in teaching and research geared to the current needs and challenges of practice and science. Thanks to the intensified research and consulting, partners from industry and science benefit from a targeted transfer of knowledge and technology.

      Accreditation opens up new possibilities

      The accreditation will make the FHNW School of Business even more attractive for international student mobility and enables students in Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees access to international partner universities. Furthermore, the AACSB label opens up new possibilities on the job market for alumni.
