Regional / National Accreditation
Durham University itself is not "nationally accredited" in the way a single vocational course might be, as it is a chartered public research university in England that holds its own charter and is recognized by the UK government. However, specific schools within the university, such as the business school, have received prestigious international accreditations, like the triple accreditation from the AACSB, AMBA, and EQUIS.
Professional Accreditation
Durham University has several professional accreditations, most notably its Business School, which holds the prestigious triple accreditation from AACSB, AMBA, and EQUIS. Other professional accreditations include its Careers and Enterprise Service, which has the Membership Quality Standard from the Association of Graduate Careers Advisory Services (AGCAS), and its PGCE (Primary) program, which is accredited by the UK Department for Education and leads to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).
