The Open University Business School holds the coveted triple crown accreditation (AACSB, EQUIS and AMBA), placing it among 1% of highly respected group of business schools worldwide. The School is preparing for its next EQUIS accreditation review, and we want students’ honest, independent views to be at the heart of it.
Students are invited to volunteer for either or both of these opportunities. Choose how you would like to take part:
Be the lead student, or lead students, in bringing together student feedback and producing the report for EQUIS. EQUIS want a student report that has no involvement by staff to be unbiased. This is an instrumental role in the review. This role will develop your skills in collecting and analysing data, writing reports, and working with an external organisation on a review. This experience would look fantastic on your CV and provide great examples for interviews/applications for future study or employment.
Share feedback: there will be an upcoming forum, questionnaire, and Teams meeting to discuss the questions given by EQUIS for the student report. You can have a direct impact on the accreditation of the Business School and gain insights and experience of how this process runs.
There will also be an opportunity to come to Milton Keynes campus in March 2027 and met with EQUIS when they attend to complete the review.
