The School of Business, Economics and Law in Gothenburg first in Sweden with AMBA accreditation
The School of Business, Economics and Law at the University of Gothenburg has been granted international AMBA accreditation for its Executive MBA programme. The School of Business, Economics and Law at the University of Gothenburg is thereby the only Swedish business school to have been accredited by the Association of MBAs (AMBA). This guarantee of quality is internationally considered to be the highest level of prestige an MBA programme can get.
“AMBA accreditation is an acknowledgement that our quality work has yielded the desired result. This accreditation guarantees our Executive MBA participants that the programme maintains high quality, and for our participants’ employers it demonstrates that they are making a worthwhile investment when nominating their future leaders to our programme", says Per-Olof Larsson, CEO, GU School of Executive Education, currently present at AMBA's international conference in China to receive the award.
"We're proud to be able to offer an Executive MBA programme at an international level. AMBA accreditation strengthens our brand and will benefit us when recruiting students and will increase our opportunities to collaborate with well-reputed business schools and universities around the world", says Professor Per Cramér, Dean of the School of Business, Economics and Law at the University of Gothenburg.
