AMBA (the Association of MBAs) has renewed ESSCA’s accreditation. This international recognition confirms the excellence of its MBM, Executive MBM and MBA, and once again places ESSCA among the select group of institutions worldwide holding the triple accreditation: AACSB, AMBA, and EQUIS.

The recognition by AMBA reaffirms the outstanding quality of ESSCA’s programmes, now delivered across five countries and tailored to local economic challenges. This decision rewards the continuous improvement of the MBM, Executive MBM and the online experiential MBA focused on Business & Technology, in partnership with the École nationale supérieure d’Arts et Métiers. This collaboration with a leading engineering Grande École aims to train leaders who are committed to technological and environmental transformation in a rapidly changing world. With our ambitious KAIROS 2030 strategic plan, our intention is clear: to make ESSCA one of the best working, research and learning environments in Europe by 2030. To reach this goal, the quality of our programmes, the student experience and the impact of our research are at the very heart of our project.

The AMBA accreditation
