EADA Business School renews EQUIS Accreditation for five years and consolidates its position among the world’s leading business schools
The renewal of EFMD Global’s EQUIS accreditation recognises EADA Business School’s academic excellence, international outlook and commitment to sustainability
EADA Business School has renewed its international EQUIS (EFMD Quality Improvement System) accreditation for a five-year period, the maximum duration awarded by EFMD Global. This renewal once again places EADA among the world’s most prestigious business schools and reinforces its international recognition as a leading institution in management education and executive development.
EQUIS accreditation is regarded as one of the most demanding and comprehensive quality assessment systems in the field of business education. Currently, only just over 200 business schools worldwide hold this accreditation, representing a highly selective minority among the thousands of institutions dedicated to management and business education.
The five-year renewal represents the highest level of recognition granted by EFMD Global and confirms the strength of EADA’s academic and institutional project.
A rigorous international evaluation process
Obtaining and renewing EQUIS accreditation involves undergoing an extensive international peer-review process in which academic and professional experts comprehensively assess a range of the institution’s strategic areas.
The main criteria assessed include:
- Governance, strategy and institutional identity.
- The quality and design of academic programmes.
- The profile and research activity of the faculty.
- Research and its impact.
- International reach and positioning.
- Commitment to ethics, responsibility and sustainability.
- Connection with the business community.
- Resources, administration and institutional viability.
Unlike other international accreditations, EQUIS adopts a holistic approach that measures not only academic quality, but also the capacity of business schools to generate transformation, innovation and impact within their environment.
A globally recognised distinction for students and businesses
The renewal of EQUIS ensures that EADA Business School’s programmes continue to meet the highest international quality standards. This recognition brings value to students, alumni, companies and international academic partners alike.
Holding this accreditation enables EADA to:
- Strengthen its global reputation among students, companies and universities.
- Remain part of the international network of EFMD Global-accredited schools.
- Guarantee education aligned with the real needs of today’s business environment.
- Attract international academic and research talent.
- Promote new global academic and corporate partnerships.
In addition, EQUIS particularly recognises institutions with a strong international orientation, a capacity for innovation and a commitment to responsible, impact-driven education.
Commitment to continuous improvement
For EADA Business School, the renewal of EQUIS also represents an incentive to continue evolving its educational model and strengthening its international positioning.
“This recognition encourages us to continue growing. EADA will continue evolving its academic offering, deepening its international dimension, strengthening its connection with the business community and maintaining its focus on responsible, ethical and impact-driven education”
What is EQUIS?
EQUIS (EFMD Quality Improvement System) is the international accreditation system developed by EFMD Global to assess quality and continuous improvement in business schools.
The accreditation evaluates institutions comprehensively and places particular emphasis on areas such as internationalisation, academic excellence, research, employability, sustainability and engagement with the business community.
Alongside AACSB and AMBA, EQUIS forms part of the so-called “triple crown”, the highest international distinction for business schools.
