The UIC Barcelona Faculty of Economic and Social Sciences, new member of the prestigious AACSB

Accreditation of the AACSB (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business) is a prestigious and reputable certification that recognises the best business and accounting bachelor’s and master's degree programmes in the world. The AACSB conducts a rigorous review of faculty qualifications, curricula and the ability to deliver high-quality programmes.

The UIC Barcelona Faculty of Economic and Social Sciences has become a new member of the AACSB, a fact that reaffirms its commitment to quality and global business training. This new membership allows faculty and administrative staff to learn about the best practices in the sector, which allows continuous improvement and access to important AACSB resources, such as research publications, case studies and data that can contribute to developing a solid curriculum. Similarly, it ensures that the University remains at the forefront of advances in the business education sector.

AACSB accredited members provide business schools and affiliated faculties with access to a broad international network of business schools, fostering cooperation on a global scale. Similarly, it opens new avenues for cooperation in research projects with other AACSB institutions.

The Faculty of Economic and Social Sciences at UIC Barcelona aims to train professionals from the business world offering the best preparation in technical and interpersonal skills. To this end, the Faculty establishes links and agreements with the business world and has a good network of companies and institutions that cooperate with the project.

This new partnership with the AACSB, for now as a member, aligns with the strategic objectives of the Faculty of Economic and Social Sciences, and in turn positions the University as part of a distinguished group dedicated to the advancing business education on a global scale.
