Sheffield Business School receives international re-accreditation from renowned association
It ranks it among the top business school worldwide
Sheffield Business School, part of Sheffield Hallam University, has received international re-accreditation from a renowned association.
The six-year re-accreditation from the Association of Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) means it is ranked among the top six per cent of business schools globally.
A review visit in March led the AACSB to praise the school’s engagement with enterprises, student support, and initiatives to reduce degree award gaps.
Dr Sam Giove, Director of Sheffield Business School, said:”I’m so proud that we have been reaccredited by AACSB for the maximum six-year term. This remarkable achievement reflects our dedication to excellence. The evaluation team specifically commended our outstanding business education, research, innovation, and external engagement.
“AACSB accredits the world’s very best business schools, and we’re proud to stand among them as we continue empowering our students, so they have what it takes to be responsible leaders, work in partnership with the business community, and make impactful contributions to our city, region, and the internationally.”
The school first received the accreditation in 2020., putting it among 1,055 accredited institutions in more than 69 countries and territories.
AACSB’s Executive Vice President and Global Chief Accreditation Officer, Stephanie Bryant, added: “AACSB congratulates each institution on achieving AACSB accreditation. The commitment to earning accreditation is a true reflection of each school’s dedication—not only to its students, alumni network, and greater business community – but to society as a whole.”
Sheffield Business School will move to Langsett – one of three new buildings on the university’s multi-million pound Howard Street development – at the start of the 2025/26 academic year.
Langsett will house pop-up shops and a Trading Floor, featuring industry-standard Bloomberg software.
