AMBA accreditation

The Kingston MBA is accredited by the Association of MBAs (AMBA), the leading accreditation body in the UK and, increasingly, in Europe. It is one of only 37 of approximately 150 UK MBA courses to be accredited.
Accreditation provides an independent and international quality kite-mark. It assures that the Kingston MBA is delivered to an appropriate standard and is of continuing relevance to contemporary issues in management education.
Kingston Business School is the first business school globally to receive triple AMBA accreditation for its DBA, MBA and pre-experience Business Management MA.
