Accreditations
Independent accreditation experts assess our institution based on the highest international quality standards. As a result, we have been EQUIS accredited since 2001 and AACSB accredited since 2003 – the two most prestigious international seals of quality for business schools.

Rankings
Rankings are carried out today for all of our areas of activity: teaching, research and further education. The rankings examine individual courses of study, disciplines, types of programmes and the university as a whole. Rankings exist on the national level, according to language areas and at European and global levels.

Ranking goals and methods
The goals and methods of rankings are as varied as the ranking providers themselves. In this respect, the media is also playing an increasingly important role in addition to the educational institutions' role as educational providers. Consequently, the definitions of quality and what constitutes “education” are diverse. The same applies to the methods used for measuring these various aspects.
