Something About Us
Our Background:
We are an independent organization focused on evaluating and recognizing the quality of educational programs and institutions within Europe, Asia, and Africa.
Our work is based on professional standards, transparent criteria, and an objective review process.
We believe that independent evaluation helps distinguish strong educational programs and supports informed decision-making by students and institutions alike.
Our activities are limited to the regions we understand best and where our evaluation framework is designed to operate. Our activities and evaluations do not apply to North America.
Our Mission:
Our mission is to support and promote high-quality educational programs across Europe, Asia, and Africa.
We review programs using structured assessment criteria that focus on curriculum design, learning outcomes, teaching methodology, and institutional practices.
Our role is advisory and evaluative in nature. We do not replace local authorities or regulatory bodies, but instead provide an independent quality perspective that institutions may use voluntarily.
Our Vision:
Our vision is to contribute to the long-term improvement of educational quality and transparency in Europe, Asia, and Africa.
We aim to encourage institutions that value ethical conduct, continuous improvement, and clearly defined educational standards.
In an ideal environment, students would always have reliable and comparable information when choosing an educational program. Where this is not fully available, independent evaluation can play a supportive role.
Accredited Programs:
MBA – The Master of Business Administration (MBA or M.B.A.) is a master’s degree in business administration (management). The MBA degree originated in the United States in the early 20th century when the country industrialized and companies sought scientific approaches to management. The core courses in an MBA program cover various areas of business such as accounting, applied statistics, business communication, business law, finance, managerial economics, management, marketing and operations in a manner most relevant to management analysis and strategy. Most programs also include elective courses and concentrations for further study in a particular area. Most challenging and prestigious MBA concentrations include accounting and finance. MBA programs typically require completing nearly twice the amount of credits typically required for degrees that cover some of the same material such as the Master of Economics, Master of Finance, Master of Accountancy, Master of Science in Marketing and Master of Science in Management.
BBA – The Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA or B.B.A.) is a bachelor’s degree in commerce and business administration. In the United States, the degree is conferred after four years of full-time study in one or more areas of business concentrations. In Europe, the degree is conferred after three years of full-time study in one or more areas of business concentrations. The BBA program usually includes general business courses and advanced courses for specific concentrations.
DBA – The Doctor of Business Administration (abbreviated DBA, D.B.A., DrBA, or Dr.B.A.) is a research doctorate awarded on the basis of advanced study and research in the field of business administration. Along with research skills the doctorate focuses on business intelligence and original theoretical study. The D.B.A. is a terminal degree in business administration, and is equivalent to the Ph.D in Business Administration. Along with the Ph.D, it represents the highest academic qualification in business administration. Successful completion of a D.B.A. or Ph.D in Business Administration is required to gain employment as a full-time, tenure-track university professor or postdoctoral researcher in the field. As with other earned research doctorates, individuals with the degree are awarded the academic title doctor, which is often represented via the English honorific “Dr.” or the post-nominal letters “D.B.A.”, “DBA”, “Dr.B.A.”, or “DrBA”.
LL.M. – The Master of Laws (M.L. or LL.M.; Latin Magister Legum or Legum Magister) is a postgraduate academic degree, pursued by those either holding an undergraduate academic law degree, a professional law degree, or an undergraduate degree in a related subject. In some jurisdictions the “Master of Laws” is the basic professional degree for admission into legal practice.
