ACCREDITATION

University accreditation is an activity initiated by an institution and executed by authorised and independent accreditation agencies. State accreditation of a higher education institution is mandatory and universities can also opt for international accreditation to work on improving quality and reputation building. The accreditation process requires rigorous self-evaluation and an independent and objective assessment of the overall quality of education ensuring that higher education institutions meet set standards and are trained to deliver students programs they offer. Accreditation emphasises quality assurance and commitment to continuous quality improvement.

Accreditation by authorised agencies confirms to parents, students, higher education institutions, employers as well as other parties involved that students obtained their diploma at a higher education institution focused on continuous improvement and quality standards in teaching, learning and research. Accreditation provides students with a chance to have their ECTS credits recognised at other accredited higher education institutions should they decide to continue their education within the European Higher Education Area, and beyond. Employers, as well as state institutions participating in the employment process, prefer candidates who acquired their degree at accredited higher education institutions.

Obtaining three accreditations during the 2019/2020 academic year, International Burch University confirmed its clear commitment to quality assurance figuring as the preeminent entrepreneurial university in Bosnia and Herzegovina. International Burch University is accredited by the following domestic and international accreditation agencies:

Institutional State Accreditation (BH)

In the academic year 2019/2020 International Burch University underwent an external evaluation carried out by a commission of experts appointed by the Agency for the Development of Higher Education and Quality Assurance of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Commission analysed the fulfillment of the criteria at the International Buch University and provided a recommendation on accreditation to the Ministry of Education and Science of the Sarajevo Canton (MONKS). International Burch University met all ten criteria analysed during the accreditation process, nine of which were fully met and one significantly, making it one of the top rated universities in our country.

After the MONKS issued the decision on accreditation (No. 11/05-38-4146-8/19 of 20th January 2020), the decision on entry into the state register of accredited higher education institutions in Bosnia and Herzegovina was adopted at the session of the Commission for evaluation and compliance with the decision on Accreditation of HEIs made by the Director of the Agency for the Development of Higher Education and Quality Assurance on the entry of the International Burch University into the state register of accredited HEIs in BH.
