UPM’s Business School Attains Prestigious Triple Crown Accreditation

PUTRAJAYA, May 30 (Bernama) -- Universiti Putra Malaysia’s (UPM) School of Business and Economics (SBE) has made history by becoming the first and only institution in Malaysia to earn accreditation from the Association of MBAs (AMBA), completing the prestigious Triple Crown Accreditation.

This international recognition encompasses three of the world’s leading business school accrediting bodies, namely AMBA (UK), the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), United States, and the European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS). 

UPM vice-chancellor Datuk Prof Dr Ahmad Farhan Mohd Sadullah said this achievement places the business school among an elite group of only 120 worldwide, out of over 13,000 institutions, to hold the Triple Crown status.

“This positions SBE UPM alongside world-renowned institutions such as the London Business School, INSEAD, and HEC Paris,” he said in a statement today.

He added that the recognition aligns with UPM’s aspiration to become a globally respected university, as well as supports Malaysia’s goal of establishing itself as a regional hub for higher education.

He said the achievement also contributes to the goals of the Malaysian Education Blueprint (Higher Education) by strengthening Malaysia’s position on the global stage.

“This status gives SBE, UPM a strategic edge in attracting high-calibre researchers, academics and students from around the world, while expanding global networks for industry and academic collaboration,” he added.

Meanwhile, Dean of SBE, UPM, Prof Dr Bany Ariffin Amin Noordin said the accreditation is a testament to international recognition of the commitment and excellence within the business school and the university’s academic ecosystem.

“We remain committed to becoming a leading business education institution in Southeast Asia and to contributing to national development through forward-looking education, research and innovation,” he said.
