Accreditations

The bachelor programme International Management and master programme Strategic Entrepreneurship have gained EPAS EFMD accreditation.

EPAS is an international programme accreditation system operated by EFMD (the European Foundation for Management Development). It aims to evaluate and, where of an appropriately high quality, to accredit business and/or management degree programmes with an international perspective. The process involves a review in depth of the programme in question.

During autumn 2010 and spring 2011 JIBS initiated an AACSB accreditation process. It is estimated that the AACSB accreditation will take at least four years to complete. Acquiring this accreditation will mean that we can provide even greater research and education opportunities, and allow for even higher global recognition.

AACSB (the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business)

The AACSB Accreditation Standards are used as the basis to evaluate a business school’s mission, operations, faculty qualifications and contributions, programmes, and other critical areas. AACSB accreditation ensures students and parents that the business school is providing a top-quality education and future employers that its graduates are ready to perform from day one.

, and that an EQUIS accreditation may take up to two years.

EQUIS (the European Quality Improvement System)
EQUIS, an accreditation by EFMD (the European Foundation for Management Development), evaluates whole institutions such as business schools and university faculties of business and management. It assesses not just degree programmes but all the activities and sub-units of the institution, including research, e-learning units, executive education provision and community outreach. EQUIS looks for a balance between high academic quality and the professional relevance provided by close interaction with the corporate world. A strong interface with the world of business is, therefore, as much a requirement as a strong research potential.
