MBA accreditation places Hull University Business School among top two per cent globally
Hull University Business School’s (HUBS) position amongst the top business schools internationally has been confirmed by the Association of MBAs (AMBA), one of the world’s leading authorities on postgraduate business education.
AMBA Accreditation is awarded to an elite group of business schools with only the top 2% globally achieving recognition.
In its three-yearly assessment report, AMBA officials praised the enthusiastic and passionate staff and strong leadership at HUBS. The panel also found that the business school’s independence within the University structure placed HUBS on a par with many of the best in the AMBA network.
Professor Robert Dover, Interim Executive Dean of the Faculty of Business, Law and Politics, and from August 1, new Dean of Hull University Business School, said: “I’m thrilled that Hull University Business School’s accreditation with AMBA is confirmed for another three years.
The MBA accreditation philosophy is centred on impact and employability. The award also confirms that our programmes continue to offer the highest standard.Professor Robert Dover

Professor Dover continued, “I want to thank everyone involved - so much effort goes into ensuring our students are receiving the best possible education and experience during their time with us, and it’s a testament to the hard work and dedication of both academic and professional colleagues that has made this happen”.
As a leading business school, HUBS frequently welcomes external accreditors to conduct independent assessments and ensure the continuation of its exceptional standards.
As part of the AMBA accreditation, all current MBA students and MBA alumni of the Business School are invited to join AMBA’s global member community of more than 56,000 students and alumni.
With representatives from more than 150 countries, AMBA offers a variety of networking, thought leadership and career development opportunities, alongside a variety of benefits.
I am delighted that Hull University Business School has received accreditation from AMBA. The school has impressive learning facilities and clearly offers a transformational MBA programme.Andrew Main Wilson
Chief Executive of the Association of MBAs and Business Graduates Association (BGA)
