The Gothenburg School of Business, Economics and Law at the University of Gothenburg (Swedish: Handelshögskolan vid Göteborgs universitet) is a business school in Gothenburg, Sweden. It was founded in 1923 as an independent business college and is situated in the centre of the city, between the districts Vasastan and Haga. In 1961 it was integrated into the state-run university system, still as a separate college, but then was integrated into the University of Gothenburg in 1971. Different from the other colleges at the university, it continues to use a Swedish name form (högskola) which usually denotes an independent college.
The School of Business, Economics and Law at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, has received a third international accreditation (AACSB). It thus becomes the only business school in Sweden that is what is popularly referred to as “Triple Crown” accredited. Such accreditation is held by only 0.5% of the world’s business schools. The members of this exclusive group have successfully come through the three severest quality examinations in the business-school world. London Business School, Antai at Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Copenhagen Business School are amongst the holders.
The School has been accredited by EQUIS since 2004 (re-accredited in 2009, next re-accreditation in 2014).
In 2013, the School was accredited by AMBA for its Executive MBA programme, and is thereby the only AMBA-accredited school in Sweden. This guarantee of quality is internationally considered to be the highest level of prestige an MBA programme can get.
In 2016, the school received AACSB accreditation.
The School moved to its present premises in central Gothenburg in 1952, the present buildings being inaugurated in 1995, with further work and extensions conducted in 1996, 2003 and 2010. The main campus offers approximately 25,500 square metres of space, hosting lecture halls and office space for faculty members, as well as excellent library facilities, a restaurant and the premises of the School’s Student Association.
