International Accreditation Institutions - EQUIS - EFMD, Belgium

EQUIS (European Quality System) of European Federation for Management Development (EFMD) is one of the popular global accreditation agency in the world.

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 is not primarily focused on the MBA or any other specific programme.

The agency 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.

Its scope covers all programmes offered by an institution from the first degree up to the Ph.D. So far 126 institutions have been awarded EQUIS in 35 countries including India.

Two top B-schools IIM Bangalore and IIM Ahmedabad have been presented with EQUIS accreditation since 2010.
