Accreditation
The EQUIS accreditation is without a doubt WU’s most important international quality assurance standard. The limited circle of EQUIS accredited business schools includes only 130 universities in 36 countries (as of December 2010). WU is the largest of the EQUIS accredited schools in Europe, and one of only five accredited universities in the German-speaking world.
A clear mission statement and a modern and comprehensive selection of degree programs in line with the Bologna reform process convinced the EFMD (European Foundation for Management Development), the agency that grants EQUIS accreditation, that WU is worthy of this distinction. Quality and practical relevance of teaching, as well as the international orientation of the academic programs, were further criteria. Graduates’ qualifications and research activities were also evaluated, and all of these aspects, together with WU’s continuing education program portfolio, formed the basis for the panel’s positive decision.
EQUIS accreditation and the quality control process preceding it have added to WU’s reputation both in Austria and abroad. To meet the quality regulations, WU is subject to continuous and comprehensive quality assurance procedures. Important criteria for these procedures include:
› The university’s strategic development
› Internationalization
› Connections to the business community
› Quality management
AMBA (Association of MBAs) is one of the world’s leading accreditation agencies, alongside renowned institutions such as EQUIS, AACSB and FIBAA. AMBA’s prestigious quality assurance goes only to MBA and DBA programs that fulfill AMBA’s high standards.
All of WU Executive Academy’s MBA programs are AMBA accredited:
* Executive MBA (Vienna)
* Executive MBA (Bucharest)
* Executive MBA (PGM Vienna)
* Professional MBA
Currently, only 161 business schools in 72 countries (as of October 2010) have received AMBA accreditation. WU is one of only three AMBA accredited universities in the German-speaking world.
