Accreditation services

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.

EPQA provides institutional quality accreditation, programme quality accreditation and approval of competency-certificate programmes at Bachelor’s-Level and Master’s-Level. Individual certificates require passed mandatory blocks, a personal integrative project, an oral defence and an award review. Programme quality accreditation does not automatically authorise individual awards. A joint quality and competency review of one complete programme counts as one project; bachelor and master provision count separately. Individual award fees have not been set and paid individual applications are not open.
