Griffith Business School (GBS) has achieved global recognition with the announcement of an EQUIS accreditation which places GBS amongst the top one per cent of business schools in the world.
The European Foundation for Management Development Quality Improvement System (EQUIS) was the leading international review system which provides a rigorous peer-review process and assessment for business and management schools.
Griffith was one of only 14 business schools in Australia to hold accreditations from both the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) and EQUIS.
Pro Vice Chancellor (Business) Professor Caitlin Byrne said the EQUIS accreditation endorsed Griffith Business School’s commitment to outstanding business education and research.
“We are honoured to receive EQUIS accreditation, a distinguished recognition which benchmarks our performance against the highest international standards,” Professor Byrne said.
“This accreditation not only affirms the quality and relevance of our educational programs and research but also underscores our steadfast commitment to social justice and sustainability.
“This achievement reinforces our mission to cultivate the next generation of ethical business leaders and policymakers who are equipped to drive positive societal change.
“Being part of the EQUIS community enables us to exchange knowledge and best practices with the world’s leading business schools, thereby enhancing our mission.
“The new Brisbane City campus at the iconic Treasury Building, which will serve as a hub for GBS, has already attracted new industry partnerships and connections.
“GBS also maintains a prominent position within the Gold Coast business community, working with distinguished industry partners to advance inclusive economic growth and sustainable business solutions.”
Griffith hosted a four-day visit as part of the accreditation process which allowed the school to showcase strong community engagement, and included valuable input from staff, students, alumni and industry partners.
