MBS - whose recognition of academic excellence is evidenced by triple accreditation from AACSB, EQUIS and AMBA - was built on two pillars: Academic quality and an unwavering commitment to its values: ethics, openness and diversity, global responsibility and performance. The implementation of these values is recognised by strict labels: ESSPIG, Diversity, Professional Equality, United Nations Compact, Global Compact, LGBT. Thus, our students come from all classes of society and from nearly 80 countries.
MBS is distinguished by the conviction that diversity is a wealth and strength for society as well as for companies. And by the conviction that the lasting success of companies depends on the consideration of its economic, societal and environmental performance.
"Our membership in CEEMAN is based on the desire to further develop international cooperation, the internationalization of the student body, the Faculty and our researchers. It confirms our openness to all continents and our specific will to develop our partnerships in Central Europe. MBS intends to be an active, dedicated and attractive partner within CEEMAN and thus confirms its willingness to welcome new students, new partner companies and partner Business Schools."
We believe too that the biggest challenge for companies will be the sustainable, responsible and eco-responsible transformation of their strategy.

To fulfill its mission MBS has developed a full array of programmes of excellence: Bachelor of International Business Administration, Programme Grande Ecole, Masters of Science, Executive MBA, DBA, Doctorates, Executive education.
