Accreditations and Rankings

Adam Smith Business School is within the 1% of international business schools that hold the triple crown of accreditations: AACSB, EQUIS and AMBA. The School is also recognised by accrediting bodies in the Management and Accounting and Finance subject areas, and our commitment to gender equality and sustainability is recognised by Athena Swan and PRME.

Our rankings activities are vital in ensuring a high standard of teaching within the School. Rankings enable prospective students to measure the relative value of our degree programmes. Our programmes are currently ranked by The Financial Times, The Economist and QS, three of the most prestigious rankings organisations.

We follow the legacy of Adam Smith by developing enlightened, engaged and enterprising graduates and contribute to the University’s strategy: World Changers Together.
