Accreditations: why your contribution is vital to the recognition of your diploma.
Les critères indispensables pour obtenir cette accréditation sont l'excellence de la recherche, la qualité de la formation et la responsabilité sociétale, mais également l’insertion professionnelle des diplômés.

Number 3! After a rigorous and strict audit, Montpellier Business School has been awarded our third accreditation - from EQUIS  (European Quality Improvement System). This distinction is our third after the AACSB and AMBA accreditations obtained in 2011 and 2012 respectively.

This triple accreditation certifies the recognition of our degrees and our academic excellence meeting international standards.

These accreditations are awarded by independent international institutions. EQUIS has certified the entire school for three years. This is a strict distinction, of which only 14 French schools have received this accreditation.

MBS has now become a member of a “very close circle of 1% of global business schools to obtain this triple crown”. We give a warm thanks to the graduates who were involved in the various stages of the audits.

The requisite criteria to obtain this accreditation are: research excellence, quality teaching, and social responsibility, as well as the professional integration of our students.

Therefore, as an alumna or alumnus, you contribute to the recognition of your school and reciprocally.

A strong and engaged network

With our directory [update my profile], we can put you in contact with a dozen of our voluntary graduates enthusiastic to answer the questions of our auditors.

Among them was Clotilde Collos, 2004 graduate, accepted to agree to participate in the discussions. She said, “I agreed to participate out of curiosity, but also out of commitment because, as a graduate, it affects to me”.

She explained, "It was very interesting. The questions were relevant, well-directed, and well-meaning. The exchanges provided me with a new angle of viewing the school and the impact it can have."

An internationally-recognised standing

The network’s international standing is also one of the determining factors in receiving this accreditation.

This is demonstrated by having 30 branches on five continents, as well as the organisation of more than 60 afterworks organised. The increasing number of expatriate graduates has, among other things, substantiates the richness and diversity of careers in the four corners of the world.
