AMBA accredits programs from the top 2% of business schools in over five continents. Only programs demonstrating the highest standards in teaching, learning and curriculum design, career development and employability, student, alumni and employer interaction achieve AMBA accreditation.
EFMD ACCREDITATION
EFMD Accredited label is a leading mark of international quality recognition for program accreditation. The EFMD accreditation also indicates that MSB is growing and developing as part of a global community of international business schools who strive towards excellence and implement major accreditation pillars which include innovative pedagogies, internationalization, ethics, responsibility, and sustainability (ERS), and impactful research.
ABET ACCREDITATION
MedTech joins an elite group of prestigious engineering schools worldwide and becomes ABET accredited. ABET accreditation, the ‘’gold star’’ accreditation for engineering education, ensures that programs meet standards to produce graduates ready to enter technical fields that are leading the way in innovation and emerging technologies. All MedTech engineering programs are ABET-accredited.
AACSB ACCREDITATION
MSB is the first school in Tunisia to earn the AACSB accreditation from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) for all its programs. AACSB accreditation inspires new ways of thinking within business education globally. Less than 6 % of the world's schools offering business degree programs hold AACSB business accreditation.
Founded in 1916, AACSB is the longest-serving global accrediting body for business schools, and the largest business education network connecting learners, educators, and businesses worldwide.
This recognition signifies a tribute to MSB’s efforts and commitment to upholding and advancing the quality of their programs, both at the undergraduate and graduate levels. It also landmarks its business practice through its commitment to strategic management and innovation, student success and impactful thought leadership.
