(Press-News.org) Huddersfield Business School has been awarded a coveted accreditation which less than six percent of institutions offering business degree programmes manage to achieve and is a result of ‘its dedication not only to the students, alumni network, and greater business community, but to the higher education industry as a whole’.
AACSB accreditation from AACSB International ensures continuous improvement and provides focus for schools to deliver on their mission, innovate, and drive impact. The accreditation was led by Huddersfield Business School’s former Dean Professor Jill Johnes who retired at the end of January 2023 having led on it since 2016.
As an AACSB-accredited school, Huddersfield Business School has undergone a rigorous review process conducted by its peers in the business education community, to ensure it has the resources, credentials, and commitment needed to provide students with a first-rate, future-focused business education.
“The University’s commitment to earning accreditation is a true reflection of its dedication not only to their students, alumni network, and greater business community, but to the higher education industry as a whole. Today’s students are tomorrow’s business leaders, and the addition of the Huddersfield Business School to the network of AACSB-accredited business schools will have a lasting positive impact for their institution, both locally and globally.”
Stephanie M. Bryant, Executive Vice President & Chief Accreditation Officer of AACSB.
AACSB International is the world’s largest business education alliance, connecting educators, learners, and business to create the next generation of great leaders. With a presence in more than 100 countries and territories, AACSB fosters engagement, accelerates innovation, and amplifies impact in business education.
“Located at a state-of-the-art campus in the heart of Yorkshire (UK), Huddersfield Business School, provides an outstanding environment where students’ lives are transformed and staff fulfil their aspirations,” said the School’s Acting Dean and Pro Vice-Chancellor International, Professor Alistair Sambell.
“We have used the AACSB accreditation standards to drive forward our vision and mission relating to excellent teaching, impactful research, engagement with organisations, and our ethos around responsibility in all we do – locally, nationally, and internationally.
“We are proud to have been recognised by AACSB and look forward to leveraging the opportunities from being a part of the community of AACSB-accredited business schools,” he said.
Synonymous with the highest standards of quality, AACSB accreditation inspires new ways of thinking within business education globally. As a result, less than six percent of the world's schools offering business degree programmes have been able to achieve the prestigious accreditation.
Through today’s ratification, a total of 965 institutions across 60 countries and territories have earned AACSB accreditation in business. Furthermore, 193 institutions maintain supplemental AACSB accreditation for their accounting programmes.
“AACSB accreditation recognises institutions that have demonstrated a focus on excellence in all areas, including teaching, research, curriculum development, and student learning,” said Stephanie M. Bryant, executive vice president and chief accreditation officer of AACSB.
“We congratulate the University and Huddersfield Business School’s former Dean Professor Jill Johnes on earning the accreditation and applaud the entire team, including the administration, faculty, staff, and students, for their roles in earning this respected honour.
“The University’s commitment to earning accreditation is a true reflection of its dedication not only to their students, alumni network, and greater business community, but to the higher education industry as a whole,” she continued. “Today’s students are tomorrow’s business leaders, and the addition of the Huddersfield Business School to the network of AACSB-accredited business schools will have a lasting positive impact for their institution, both locally and globally.”

Galaxy clusters yield new evidence for standard model of cosmology
2023-04-03
Cosmologists have found new evidence for the standard model of cosmology – this time, using data on the structure of galaxy clusters.
In a recent study, a team led by physicists at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford University made detailed measurements of the X-ray emission from galaxy clusters, which revealed the distribution of matter within them. In turn, the data helped the scientists test the prevailing theory of the structure and evolution of the universe, known as Lambda-CDM.
Getting there wasn’t an easy task, however.

New UH project combats food insecurity through AI
2023-04-03
One in eight Texans experiences food insecurity, according to the non-profit agency Feeding America. That means 1.4 million Texas households are food insecure, with limited or inconsistent access to nutritious food for an active, healthy life. The USDA's most recent survey on the issue reported that Texas is among the top nine U.S. states with a higher prevalence of food insecurity than the national average.
To address this issue, a University of Houston-led team is developing an artificial intelligence-based platform that can support the food charity ecosystem through data-driven technologies.

Generosity is left-wing
2023-04-03
Is the tendency to share with other people linked to political orientation? And in which way? In a new study, researchers from the IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca, Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, and University of Milan Bicocca show that around the world left-leaning people are more inclined to be altruistic, in general and towards the international community. On the other hand, conservative and right people tend to be more altruistic towards their country. What might sound like the confirmation of a prejudice, is in reality a tendency observed worldwide through a ...
Innovative method predicts the effects of climate change on cold-blooded animals
2023-04-03
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — In the face of a warming climate that is having a profound effect on global biodiversity and will change the distribution and abundance of many animals, a Penn State-led research team has developed a statistical model that improves estimates of habitat suitability and extinction probability for cold-blooded animals as temperatures climb.
Cold-blooded animals — a diverse group including fish, reptiles, amphibians and insects — comprise most species on Earth. The body temperature of cold-blooded animals is strongly influenced by the temperature of their environment. Because their growth, reproductive success ...
Gulf offshore oil and gas production has double the climate impact as inventories report

By directly measuring greenhouse gas emissions from an airplane flying over the Gulf of Mexico, a University of Michigan-led team found that the nation's largest offshore fossil fuel production basin has twice the climate warming impact as official estimates.
The work could have bearing on future energy production in the gulf, as decisions about expanding oil and gas harvesting depend on calculations of the climate impact.
While a gap between reported and measured methane emissions in the basin has been noted in the past, this study is believed ...
Squash bees flourish in response to agricultural intensification
2023-04-03
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — While pollinator populations of many species have plummeted worldwide, one bee species is blowing up the map with its rapid population expansion. The key to this insect’s success? Its passion for pumpkins, zucchinis, and other squashes, and the massive increase in cultivation of these crops across North America over the last 1,000 years.
A new study led by Penn State found that the squash bee (Eucera pruinosa) has evolved in response to intensifying agriculture — namely squashes in the genus ...
Strong ultralight material could aid energy storage, carbon capture
2023-04-03
HOUSTON – (April 3, 2023) – 2D materials get their strength from their atom-thin, sheetlike structure. However, stacking multiple layers of a 2D material will sap it of the qualities that make it so useful.
Rice University materials scientist Jun Lou and collaborators at the University of Maryland showed that fine-tuning interlayer interactions in a class of 2D polymers known as covalent organic frameworks (COFs) can determine the materials’ loss or retention of desirable ...
Calcium sensor helps us to see the stars

Using cryo-electron microscopy and mass spectrometry, researchers from PSI have deciphered the structure of an ion channel found in the eye while it interacts with the protein calmodulin – a structure that has eluded scientists for three decades. They believe that this interaction could explain how our eyes can achieve such remarkable sensitivity to dim light. Their results are published in the journal PNAS.
As you look at the bright screen of your phone or computer, ion channels in your eyes close in response to the light. This is the final step of a biochemical ...
New research could spur broader use of 2D materials
2023-04-03
They’re considered some of the strongest materials on the planet, but tapping that strength has proved to be a challenge.
2D materials, thinner than the most delicate onionskin paper, have attracted intense interest because of their incredible mechanical properties. Those properties, however, dissipate when the materials are stacked in multiple layers, thus limiting their usefulness.
“Think of a graphite pencil,” says Teng Li, Keystone Professor at the University of Maryland’s (UMD) Department of Mechanical Engineering. “Its core is made of graphite, and graphite ...
