AACSB International (AACSB) – The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, announced on 2 February 2021, that the Faculty of Business of Lingnan University has extended its accreditation in business for another five years. The recognition reflects the Faculty’s global quality and distinction in business education, concerted efforts in benchmarking itself with the highest international standards, and continuous commitment to professional and academic excellence.

Lingnan University’s Faculty of Business obtained the AACSB Accreditation for the first time in 2011 and its first extension in 2016. The Accreditation was extended for another five years after a recent round of Continuous Improvement Review by AACSB International, which reassured the Faculty’s excellence in all areas, including teaching, research, curricula development, and student learning. In particular, the review panel of AACSB International acknowledged the Faculty’s well established strategic management process that is driven by its mission, well-developed faculty management policies and curriculum management process, and various features of its business programme that echo with its commitment to liberal arts education and whole person development.
