Aberdeen Business School is recognised both nationally and internationally for its corporate and management education. Our School has had AMBA accreditation since 1999 and is one of only 40 of the UK's 120 Business Schools that have so far been accredited in all three modes of delivery.

The MBA has been developed to ensure that it meets the highest international standards and is of direct relevance to the real world. One of the features of the programme is that each of our full-time MBA students is provided with a laptop (complete with wireless capability) for use throughout their studies, and it is theirs to keep on completion of the programme. Full-time MBA students are also taken on an international study tour to IAE Aix-en-Provence: Graduate School of Management in France.
