Riga Business School has successfully retained and renewed its academic accreditation from the Central and East European Management Development Association (CEEMAN) for another six years. The CEEMAN accreditation confirms the ability of RBS programs to deliver world-class business education to its students.

Derek Abell, Chair of the CEEMAN IQ Accreditation Committee, noted: “It is encouraging that Riga Business School combines academic knowledge with real business practice in its programs. The involvement of faculty from the business world ensures that RBS students are introduced to the most current trends – a great example for other schools of how to teach students to solve real-world problems.”

RBS Director Inese Muzikante emphasized: “This extended accreditation reflects the significant efforts made by our team. CEEMAN has affirmed our commitment to providing students with an education that combines theory and practice, integrating cutting-edge disciplines such as FinTech and artificial intelligence into the curriculum. We ensure that RBS graduates are not only competitive but also ready to lead these emerging sectors.”

What is CEEMAN Accreditation?
CEEMAN is an international association dedicated to the development of management education and innovation. Its accreditation process rigorously evaluates higher education institutions based on criteria such as academic quality, innovative teaching practices, societal impact, and the ability to adapt to global challenges. The CEEMAN accreditation is a mark of excellence that confirms RBS’s compliance with international academic standards.

Business Education Driven by Innovation
Riga Business School offers internationally competitive business education programs—from undergraduate to professionally oriented master’s studies. RBS also develops focused programs such as MERIT and LIFT, tailored to the rapidly changing business environment and leadership development needs. The school’s strong FinTech education pathway and the establishment of the Baltic Financial Hub under RBS already position the institution as a regional leader in this field. Additionally, the AI Studio at RBS actively promotes the application of artificial intelligence in business, integrating AI topics into the study process with an emphasis on practical implementation in everyday business activities.
