IAE Montpellier awarded European EFMD accreditation for an exceptional 5-year period
The IAE Montpellier business school has just been awarded EFMD (European foundation for management development) accreditation for a period of 5 years. This quality label, rarely awarded for such a long period, is a prestigious recognition that reflects the quality of the teaching provided at IAE Montpellier. The label is awarded to schools for their academic excellence and commitment to continuous improvement. It is used to assess and certify the quality of management training programs and institutions. They guarantee that the establishment meets high standards in terms of teaching, research and links with the professional world.
A major milestone for the IAE, which becomes the 14th establishment in France to be awarded this distinction for 5 years.
EFMD accreditation is a major step forward for the IAE de Montpellier, which is now one of only 3 IAEs in France to benefit from this distinction over such an extended period. By joining the select circle of French institutions accredited by EFMD for 5 years, IAE Montpellier is also strengthening its position on the international academic scene.
" This distinction by an international organization as demanding as EFMD is the accomplishment of almost 10 years of work since our first accreditation obtained in 2015. I would like to thank all our stakeholders, teachers and administrative staff, economic and institutional partners, not forgetting of course the help of our president and all the university's departments. IAE Montpellier is already ISO 9001, Qualicert and PRME certified for its social and environmental commitment. Today, it has received one of the most prestigious international recognitions, demonstrating the quality of its training, its administration and the professional integration of its students. It reinforces the positioning of the IAE de Montpellier, which from the outset chose to become the school of dual scientific and managerial skills. It demonstrates that being a public university school of management is not incompatible with the "quality" and "recognition" of its diplomas in France and abroad," declares Emmanuel Houée, Director of IAE Montpellier.
