News Writer Kierat Basi reports on Birmingham Business School receiving prestigious global AMBA Award for Deloitte Partnership
On January 19th, 2024, Birmingham Business School proudly accepted the Global AMBA award for its longstanding partnership with the industry leader, Deloitte.
The accolade was presented by AMBA (Association of MBAs), which sets the global standard for MBAs, accrediting the top 2% of schools in 75 countries. Outperforming five other international institutions, including Jiangxi University in China and Howard University School of Business in the USA, Birmingham Business School’s pioneering partnership with Deloitte, the world’s largest consultancy firm, stood out.
At the heart of the partnership lies the Birmingham MBA Deloitte Consultancy Challenge, a flagship programme renowned for its immersive week-long training targeted at MBA students. One of the highlights of the scheme is a day spent with two senior partners and other Deloitte employees, among other activities. Now in its fourteenth year, the Challenge has not only provided unparalleled experiences to MBA students but has also been replicated for undergraduate business school students, with an emphasis on responsible business.
