EQUIS is the leading international system of quality assessment,
improvement, and accreditation of higher education institutions in
management and business administration. Its fundamental objective,
linked to the mission of EFMD, is to raise the standard of
management education worldwide.
EQUIS is not primarily focused on the MBA or any other specific
programme. Its scope covers all programmes offered by an
institution from the first degree up to the Ph.D.
EQUIS has established its prestige and recognition worldwide. In
its first seven years of existence, EQUIS has accredited 84
institutions in 28 countries.
Institutions that are accredited by EQUIS must demonstrate not
only high general quality in all dimensions of their activities,
but also a high degree of internationalisation. With companies
recruiting worldwide, with students choosing to get their education
outside their home countries, and with schools building alliances
across borders and continents, there is a rapidly growing need for
them to be able to identify those institutions in other countries
that deliver high quality education in international
management.
EQUIS assesses institutions as a whole. 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. Institutions must be
primarily devoted to management education.
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.
EQUIS attaches particular importance to the creation of an
effective learning environment that favours the development of
students’ managerial and entrepreneurial skills, and fosters their
sense of global responsibility. It also looks for innovation in all
respects, including programme design and pedagogy.
EQUIS is supported by a broad international body of academics
and professionals. Deans of reputed academic institutions, HR and
MD directors of major corporations, heads of national professional
associations, consultants, and assessment experts form the pool
from which the international peer review teams are drawn.
