International accreditation
The University of Southern Denmark has achieved the coveted global business school accreditation from the AACSB (the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business), which is only achieved by six per cent of the world’s business schools.
Founded in 1916, AACSB is the world’s largest business education association. The accreditation confirms that SDU ensures continuous improvement and maintains focus on fulfilling their mission, generating innovation and creating value for and with society.
SDU has undergone a rigorous and comprehensive evaluation process conducted by international peers. The accreditation is a guarantee that the University has the necessary resources, competences and commitment to offer students a first-class, future-oriented business education.
In its feedback, AACSB emphasises SDU’s ability to combine high quality and an international outlook with strong regional anchoring and praises the University for delivering high-level business programmes across campuses while respecting the distinctiveness of local study environments.
