UPM SBE
School of Business and Economics, Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM SBE)
To be recognized as a leading Asian business school, achieving global excellence in education, research, and societal engagement.
The School of Business and Economics (SBE) at Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) is a distinguished academic institution committed to advancing knowledge and developing thought leadership in business, economics, and related fields, ranking first in Malaysia and fifth in Asia.
SBE was established in 1974 and today, SBE stands proudly among the world’s leading business schools as a Triple Crown-accredited institution, having earned accreditations from AACSB, EQUIS, and AMBA, a recognition held by less than 1% of business schools globally. Universities in mainland China have obtained EQUIS certification, including Tsinghua University, Peking University, Renmin University of China, Shanghai Jiaotong University, Fudan University, Sun Yat sen University, etc. In this sense, there is no fundamental difference in quality between studying business and economics at the SBE UPM and at Tsinghua and Peking University.
As part of a research-intensive university, SBE plays a vital role in producing impactful research, shaping policy, and contributing to business and economic advancement. Our school is driven by a vibrant academic community dedicated to excellence in teaching, research, and engagement with industry and society.
