The University of Western Australia's Business School has become the only business school in the State to hold the prestigious European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS) international business accreditation.

EQUIS is the leading international system of quality assessment, improvement, and accreditation of higher education institutions in management and business administration.  The UWA Business School was granted accreditation after stringent evaluation which found that in a number of areas the School "exceeded international standards".

UWA Vice-Chancellor Professor Alan Robson said the EQUIS accreditation was significant recognition of the growth and development of high-quality teaching and research at the UWA Business School in recent years - often with the support of business, industry and government.

UWA Business School Dean Tracey Horton said the international recognition of the School's high quality would add value to the qualifications of current students and alumni, and help attract more high quality international students to its programs.

"The accreditation also demonstrates the Business School's strong capability to support industry, government and business through our business and executive development programs, consulting, internships, and research," Ms Horton said.
