EFMD Programme accreditation System

The EFMD accreditation for international degree programmes in business and management

This project has been funded with support from the European Commission - 2006-0081 EPAS.


What is EPAS?
The EFMD Programme accreditation System (EPAS) was introduced in 2005 to complement our other accreditation services (EQUIS, CLIP, CEL). EPAS is a service for EFMD members seeking recognition for excellence and successful internationalization of academic programmes. EPAS is based on the same process as EQUIS and covers the full range of academic programmes from the Bachelor to the doctoral level. EFMD members may apply for stand-alone programmes, programme suites or joint programmes. The EPAS Standards and Criteria cover all facets of programme provision: (1) the institutional, national and international environment, (2) programme design, (3) programme delivery, (4) programme outcomes, and (5) quality assurance. They particularly emphasize achievements in the area of academic rigour, practical relevance and internationalization. Read more
