From academic year 2023-2024 onwards, ECBE will offer institutional accreditation on top of program accreditation
ECBE has launched a new institutional accreditation that can be secured as an addition to program accreditation. The new method serves as confirmation that the institutional policies, processes and procedures to support its Higher Education are fit for purpose, comprehensive and consistently applied. Institutions securing this accreditation have demonstrated that they have appropriate arrangements in place in relation to academic governance, learning resources, teaching and assessment and student support. It therefore allows institutions to provide stakeholders with assurance about institutional management and systems and the providers commitment to quality improvement.
ECBE’s philosophy is that quality begins at program level. Institutional accreditation is therefore only offered as an addition to program accreditation. You can find out more about accreditation fees here. Institutions must also be members of ECBE to apply for accreditation. More general benefits of membership include networking, support, access to member events and publications, free places at the ECBE annual conference and a regular newsletter showcasing international quality assurance developments and member news. Further information about membership, include fees, is available here.
