Curtin Business School (CBS) is the largest business-teaching facility in Western Australia, and one of the biggest and most comprehensive in Australia.

I n 2005, CBS at Curtin University of Technology (CUT) was re-accredited with the European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS), which is awarded by the European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD). EMFD is one of Europe's leading forums for information, research, networking and dialogue on innovation and best practice in management development. In 2001, CBS was the first Australian business school to achieve any form of international accreditation.

“We are very pleased at being re-accredited in 2005, especially as it confirms our standing as one of the major business schools in the region. Being re-accredited involves a rigorous process which looked not only at our academic and research standards, but also our links to business and our commitment to internationalisation.” said Professor Michael Wood, executive dean of CBS.

The EQUIS re-accreditation comes on the heels of a wider accolade for CUT, which was recently voted the top university in Western Australia in a poll undertaken by the Times Higher Education Supplement.

The graduate school is also the only Western Australian school to be rated in the five-star bracket in a recent index of Australian MBA courses, compiled by the Graduate Management Association of Australia.
