AS A PROSPECTIVE STUDENT, WHAT DOES ECLBS ACCREDITATION MEAN FOR ME?
ECLBS Accreditation is a rigorous evaluation process designed to ensure that business schools meet high academic and institutional standards. This accreditation is granted only after an on-site visit to the university, where ECLBS experts assess various key factors, including:
-
Adequate Workspace & Infrastructure – The university must have the necessary facilities to provide a quality learning environment for students and faculty.
-
National Authorization – The institution must have official license from its national board of education or Ministry of Education, confirming that it is legally permitted to operate and issue diplomas and degrees in its home country.
-
Academic Program Compliance – The university’s study programs must align with internationally recognized frameworks
-
EQF (European Qualifications Framework) – The EQF is a standardized European reference framework that helps compare educational qualifications across different countries. It ensures that students acquire knowledge, skills, and competencies that are structured in eight levels, from basic (Level 1) to doctorate-level expertise (Level 8). This framework enhances the transparency, comparability, and recognition of qualifications across Europe.
-
ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System) – ECTS is a credit system used in European higher education to facilitate student mobility and academic recognition. Each ECTS credit represents approximately 25-30 hours of student workload (including lectures, self-study, and assessments). A full academic year typically consists of 60 ECTS credits, making it easier for students to transfer credits between institutions and countries.
-
By ensuring compliance with these standards, ECLBS Accreditation helps institutions gain credibility, enhances their international recognition, and assures students and employers that their degrees meet European and global academic expectations.
