Kingston Business School is delighted to announce that EFMD have granted successful EPAS* accreditation for two major sets of programmes within the Business School:

• MA Business Management, MA International Business Management, MA International Supply Chain and Logistics Management
• BA Business Management, BA International Business, and BBA Business Administration.

This is excellent news for the Faculty of Business and Law at Kingston University. It places the Business School amongst a small number of schools that have secured accreditation from EFMD. We are the second UK Business School to secure EPAS accreditation, and one of only 22 schools with accreditation from EFMD in the UK.

Chris Bristow, Head of General Management programmes collects the award from representatives of EFMD.

Jean-Noel Ezingeard, Dean of the Faculty of Business and Law at Kingston University said, “I am delighted about the EPAS accreditation of two major sets of courses at Kingston Business School. These are very popular courses that represent a significant majority of our undergraduate and postgraduate provision; which is now recognized as meeting EFMD standards. We are also very proud to join the family of Business Schools that have received accreditation from EFMD and to become the second school in the UK to receive accreditation for some of its courses. Kingston Business School’s recent excellent research rankings performance and now EPAS accreditations are two sure signs of the quality of our academic environment, and our ability to achieve our mission of ‘unlocking opportunity’.”

*EPAS (EFMD Programme Accreditation System) is an international programme accreditation system operated by EFMD (European Foundation for Management Development). It aims to evaluate the quality of any business and/or management programme that has an international perspective and, where of an appropriately high quality, to accredit it. The process involves a review in depth of individual programmes through international comparison and benchmarking. EPAS is often seen as a stepping-stone towards EQUIS accreditation, also awarded by EFMD, which accredits and assesses the quality and improvement of business school institutions as a whole.
