International accreditations
International accreditations are an essential part of the quality assurance and development system at the School. LUSEM is triple crowned since 2021, having achieved accreditations by EQUIS, AMBA and AACSB. All faculties at Lund University must evaluate their education by means of external peer review at least every six years but only LUSEM uses international accreditations to comply with this policy.
The triple crown is a mark of quality only a few business schools around the world can present. It requires continuous, hard work to uphold international standards and stay relevant for students, partner organisations and society as a whole. LUSEM is benchmarked according to international standards but the evaluation is based on the School’s context and strategic direction: What we are, what we do and where we want to go.
