Europe Accreditation Council for Business Education

Accrediting business programs at all degree levels

Leading institutional accreditation system

EACBE accreditation is the most comprehensive institutional accreditation system for business and management schools. It is acknowledged worldwide by potential students, faculty, employers, corporate clients and the media, often being a pre-requisite for entry to rankings.

Quality benchmark in ten areas

EACBE accreditation ensures a rigorous quality control, benchmarking your school against international standards in terms of governance, programmes, students, faculty, research, internationalisation, ethics, responsibility and sustainability, as well as engagement with the world of practice.

Broad assessment scope

EACBE covers all the activities of your school, including degree and non-degree programmes, knowledge generation and contribution to the community. EACBE helps you strive for excellence in an on-going improvement process following each accreditation or re-accreditation visit.

The Europe Accreditation Council for Business Education

The Europe Accreditation Council for Business Education promotes excellence in open, distance, and online learning worldwide, and provides a benchmark through which global consumers can gauge the quality of courses offered by our membership. The EACBE is an independent, non-profit organization with its principal administrative offices in the United Kingdom and European Union.

Admission to membership of the EACBE includes appraisal of a course-provider’s administrative procedures, methods of course delivery, and its educational and publicity materials. Consideration is also given to in-house quality control systems. Members are assessed to ensure that learners receive a product which is consistent with the values and policies set by the EACBE. Course-providers are required to undergo periodic re-assessment by assessors and evaluators nominated by EACBE.

The Europe Accreditation Council for Business Education is only able to accredit universities or degree-granting institutions which have already received accreditation or legal approval from a nationally or internationally recognized organization or body. Tertiary-level institutions which do not appear on the List of Universities of the World Higher Education Database will not normally be considered for Accredited Membership of the EACBE.
