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 in addition to program accreditation. The new method confirms 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 concerning 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 provider's commitment to quality improvement.
ECBE’s philosophy is that quality begins at the 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 membership benefits 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 membership information, including fees, is available here.
