Accreditation

Upon graduation students hold an MBA degree that is internationally accredited and acknowledged worldwide.

The Reykjavik University MBA was awarded accreditation by the Association of MBAs (AMBA) in 2011 for five years and was re-accredited for five years in 2016, and again in 2021 thereby joining top ranked business schools such as the Said Business School at Oxford University, London Business School, IESE and ESADE in Spain, INSEAD and HEC in France, CBS in Denmark, and IMD in Switzerland. 

The AMBA accreditation is acknowledged worldwide and is currently accrediting programmes from the top 2% of business schools in over 75 countries.

Advisory Board

The MBA Advisory Board provides insights and feedback on the MBA core curriculum and concentrations to ensure that the programme is future-focused, market driven, and aligned with the needs of businesses. 

Student Quality Council

The RU Execute MBA has a Quality Council for each cohort, consisting of the MBA Director, MBA Programme Administrator, and 3-5 student representatives. Each student representative is selected by their fellow students and acts as a liaison to the administration of the School. Each quality council meets 2-3 times each semester and discusses all matters concerning the Programme.

Reykjavik University

The core activities of the University are teaching and research with strong ties with industry and society, emphasising interdisciplinary work, international context, innovation and service excellence. The RU culture is crafted by personal relations and respect for society and the environment.

On the Times Higher Education (THE) rankings list for 2021, RU is ranked in the first place along with six other universities. This is measured by the number of citations, proportionally, i.e. how many times scientists cite research findings from RU scientists in peer-reviewed articles. 

RU is among the 350 best universities worldwide and first among Icelandic universities. In the summer of 2019, THE placed RU 52nd out of all universities established less than 50 years ago, and among universities that have fewer than 5000 students, RU was in 14th place.
