AMBA RECOMMENDATIONS

1 The School should clarify and intensify its activities in respect of internationali-sation especially vis-a- vis reaching parts of the world where the School does not have visibility or which are underrepresented among the student body. Students from these regions would help increase diversity even further.

2 The School should explore options to raise further its research profile on its historical journey from training to education. The School should evaluate the availability ofresources for promoting research activities and the recruiting of research- active faculty. 3 The School should review the level of support for the Career Service and Alumni Relations teams to reflect the challenging economic context in Spain. The management team should ensure that all staff engaged with international students speak English and that the Career Service is sufficiently internationally-oriented. 4 The School should explore ways to improve the facilities at its building in downtown Barcelona.

5 The School should develop a more consistent approach in setting learning outcomes and should establish direct linkages between learning outcomes and assessment.

The management team should consider leveraging the relationship with the University of Vic if it would be in the School’s interest. The Accreditation Process Discuss (1) 12 AMBA 2018 CALENDAR

Mr. George ILIEV, MBA: Director of Development Markets, AMBA, London, UK Managing the PRT visit Preparing the Base Room 20

1. Materials are the most important thing. You should have nothing to hide. 2. Remember the PRT will spend two days using this room extensively. Make it welcoming and comfortable!! 3. Don’t kill trees unnecessarily. Provide links to docs in PDF and a printer in case hardcopy is needed. 4. Have someone dedicated to the PRT for any information requests or needs. 5. Did I say materials are important? Managing the PRT visit What does the PRT do? 21

1. They DO read all the documentation. 2. They have LOTS of questions. 3. They DO share and discuss impressions. 4. They LOOK for evidence of claims. 5. They DO take leads from the Chairperson. 6. Criteria are discussed one-by-one. Managing the PRT visit Event logistics 22

• Ensure the key people will be available during the visit (inform everybody in time). • Make the most of any activities going on at the time. • Long distances (in multi-site schools) are not your friend. • Make use of the social dinner to introduce nuances and context. • Everyone has issues in their school. Feel free to share honestly as the PRT will appreciate it. Responding to the report 23
