ACCREDITATIONS, EXEMPTIONS AND INDUSTRY LINKS
Our mission is to deliver professionally relevant online degree courses. We have close links with many professional bodies and industry associations. They help to ensure that our courses offer up-to-date curricula, research-led innovations and industry-focused learning outcomes.
ACCREDITATIONS AND EXEMPTIONS
Many of our online degree courses carry accreditations or exemptions from professional bodies, signifying the quality of our programmes and reflecting the practical nature of the curriculum that you will study as a Global Online student.
Our accreditations and exemptions include:
Our Business School is an accredited member of The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). It is the internationally-recognised hallmark of excellence in Business Education, meaning that the level of education you receive has been recognised to be of the highest quality.
The Association of MBAs (AMBA) is the global kite mark for high-quality MBAs and postgraduate qualifications. Our Global Online MBA is fully accredited by the Association – a significant benchmark of quality which ensures the teaching on our programme has been rigorously assessed.
Our Business School holds the EQUIS accreditation – a leading international system of quality assessment, improvement and accreditation of higher education institutions in management and business administration. By attending an EQUIS accredited institution, you can be confident you are part of a high quality institution.
Together the EQUIS, AACSB and AMBA accreditations place our Business School in an elite group of business schools worldwide to achieve the prestigious trio of accreditations.
The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development is the professional body for people and development. Our Business School is a CIPD Accredited Programme Provider meaning that students enrolling on our HRM postgraduate accredited courses will be eligible to join the CIPD as student members (fees apply).
Upon successful completion of the programme, students will receive Associate Membership* of the CIPD with the opportunity to apply for upgrade to Chartered Membership of the CIPD. Additional fees may apply.
* To be eligible for Associate Member status, students must already be a member of the CIPD. Students exiting the programme with the PgDip are not eligible for Associate Member status.
The Chartered Institute of Management Accountants offers professional training for aspiring and qualified management accountants. Our Department of Accounting, Finance and Banking has a long-standing relationship with CIMA, with many staff being CIMA examiners and part of the examination team. Plus, our MSc Finance and Strategy graduates are eligible for an accelerated entry route to the CIMA Professional Qualification.

Applicants already holding a professional finance qualification from CIMA could be exempt from four of the programme’s eleven modules, meaning you’ll pay less for your MSc.
