A global reputation for excellence
We’re ambitious, just as our students and staff expect us to be. So we’re working towards even higher standards of quality assurance with the following global accreditations.
EQUIS
Accreditation awarded in 2010 for a five year term
The European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD) aims to raise the standard of management education worldwide with this global quality assurance scheme.
It places the ASB in an exclusive group of the world’s leading business schools – only 139 of more than 10,000 business schools in the world have received EQUIS accreditation, and less than half of these for the five year term.
The intensive review highlighted our core strengths, including:
- Design and quality of our teaching programs
- High calibre of our students
- Staff performance appraisal, review and promotion processes
- High level of internationalisation and quality of our academic staff
- Quality of our professional staff and support

AACSB International accreditation
The ASB, in collaboration with the School of Business at UNSW Canberra, is now seeking accreditation by AACSB International. This not-for-profit body promotes the quality of business higher education internationally, and accreditation will demonstrate our focus on high quality education and continual improvement.
We have submitted our self-evaluation report, which ASB staff members can access through the intranet. The international Peer Review Team (PRT) will visit our campus in 2013. This PRT includes Professor Mike Page, Provost & Vice President, Academic Affairs, Bentley University (US), Professor Nicolas Mottis, Former Dean, ESSEC Business School Paris (France) and Professor Xiongwen Lu, Dean, School of Management, Fudan University (China).
