An application by the Isle of Man International Business School for 'Accredited Institution' status has been successful.

It was awarded by Liverpool John Moores University, the IBS's academic partner, following a rigorous and demanding process carried out over the past year.

All aspects of the business school, including academic quality, administrative effectiveness, and all other related services, were reviewed during a recent visit by an accreditation panel from LJMU.

Gaining 'Accredited Institution' status gives the IBS the ability to gradually customise its degree offerings, which it currently franchises through its Merseyside partner.
