From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The European University (EU) is a multi-campus
business
school, established in 1973, with headquarters in Switzerland. It
operates campuses in Switzerland (Geneva and Montreux), Spain (Barcelona), and Germany (Munich), with an executive facility in Yvorne, Switzerland.
The president of the school is Professor Dirk Craen, who is also
UNESCO Chair in International Relations, Business Administration
and Entrepreneurship.[1]
Programs
EU offers English-language business education programs. It
classifies these programs at undergraduate and graduate level;
the traditional programs of Bachelor and Master, Doctor of
Business Administration (BBA, MBA and DBA). The
university also offers the possibility to follow majors in several
fields of management education; for example Communication and Public Relations, Information Systems Management, Wealth Management and Finance-Banking and
Corporate Finance.
Accreditation status
Four campuses in Europe (Barcelona, Geneva, Montreux and Munich)
were accredited by the Association
of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP) in
2009.[2]
EU Campus in Netherlands is accredited by NVAO (in Dutch:
Nederlands-Vlaamse Accreditatieorganisatie). Campus is located in
Laan van, Meerdervoort 20, 2517 AK The Hague [3][4]. Both
NVAO and OAQ (Quality Assurance of the Swiss Universities) are
members of European Consortium for Accreditation in Higher
Education (ECA), ECA aims for the mutual recognition of
accreditation and quality assurance decisions. The members of ECA
believe that mutual recognition of accreditation decisions will
contribute to the recognition of qualifications and the mobility of
students in Europe. [5]
Before the ACBSP accreditation process was completed, the
institution's accreditation status drew negative attention from
international news media and government officials. The Swiss Embassy in Singapore issued
information in 2008 stating that the European University lacked educational accreditation in
its home jurisdiction of Switzerland, where the Centre of
Accreditation and Quality Assurance of the Swiss Universities has
responsibility for accreditation.[6] From
1993 to 2007, the European University in Barcelona had
authorization from Catalonian authorities to offer programs
leading to Bachelor and Master of Business Administration degrees,
but this authorization was withdrawn in 2007 due to the
institution's lack of official recognition in Switzerland.[7]
In August 2009, leading Malaysian newspaper The
Star included European University in a list of dubious
institutions which were not in recognised accreditation
registries.[8]
