About the Council

EPQA welcomes applications from private higher education institutions worldwide, including Europe, Asia, Latin America, North America, Africa, Australia and Oceania. Its European identity does not restrict the location of applicants. Reviews use the same published EPQA standards, with evidence of lawful operation in the institution’s country and review arrangements adapted to the location, language and delivery mode.

The European Private Higher Education Accreditation Council (EPQA) is an independent professional higher education evaluation committee. It conducts institutional and programme quality reviews, accreditation and competency standards development. Published standards, verifiable evidence and impartial decisions guide its work. Legal and contractual responsibilities remain with the disclosed operating entity.
