Aarhus University is one of Europe’s largest, on 1 January 2011 as part of the academic development process at Aarhus University, the Faculty of Social Sciences and Aarhus School of Business merged to form Aarhus School of Business and Social Sciences. Aarhus University is one of the best business schools and has been awarded an EQUIS (European Quality Improvement System) accreditation since 2001 and in January 2008 we were approved to initiate the AACSB (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business) accreditation process. EQUIS and AACSB are the leading international quality systems for assessing, improving and accrediting institutions of higher education within the fields of management and business administration.

EQUIS accreditation is awarded by the EFMD (European Foundation of Management Development), whose members are the leading business schools all over the world. AACSB accreditation (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business) is awarded by AASCSB International. Accreditations are awarded to the entire institution and not just to an individual programme or any particular division of the organization. Both accreditation systems uphold an earth-shattering focus on strategy.

With its 8000 students and more than 500 employees, they are among the ten largest EQUIS-accredited business schools in Europe. They are educating the leaders of tomorrow. They have a strong international research and study environment and an extensive range of executive programmes. All their programmes endeavour to prepare tomorrow’s leaders and specialists to think focus on intelligent growth, innovation and sustainability. Through our partnerships with a wide range of Danish companies, they ensure that our programmes and activities are relevant and meet the demands of both Danish and international companies and organizations.
