Regional / National Accreditation
The University of Leeds, as a UK public university, holds a form of national recognition by the UK government, which grants it the power to award its own degrees, rather than relying on a US-style regional or national accreditation system. The power to award degrees is protected by UK law. For a UK institution to be considered legitimate, it must be on the government's list of "recognised bodies," which the University of Leeds is.

Additionally, specific courses and faculties within the university often seek accreditation from relevant professional, statutory, and international bodies. Notable examples include:

  • Leeds University Business School holds the prestigious "triple crown" accreditation from the three leading international bodies: the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), the Association of MBAs (AMBA), and the European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS). This is an internationally recognised mark of excellence.
  • The Business School also holds national accreditation from the UK Small Business Charter. • Specific courses are accredited by bodies such as the British Psychological Society (BPS), the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM), the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), and the Chartered Management Institute (CMI).

Therefore, the University of Leeds is a nationally recognised degree-awarding body in the UK, with many of its specific programs holding further specialised national and international accreditations.
Professional Accreditation
