The University is founded and headed by Professor Dirk Craen, UNESCO Chair in International Relations, Business Adminstration and Entrepreneurship .


Programmes

EU offers English-language business education programs at undergraduate and graduate level: the traditional programs of Bachelor and Master, Doctor of Business Administration (BBA, MBA and DBA), and also the possibility to follow majors in different fields of management education, e.g. Communication and Public Relations, Information Systems Management, Wealth Management and Finance-Banking and Corporate Finance.

Accreditation status

The Swiss Embassy in Singapore issued information in 2008 stating that European University lacks educational accreditation in its home jurisdiction of Switzerland, where the Centre of Accreditation and Quality Assurance of the Swiss Universities has responsibility for accreditation.[1] From 1993 to 1997, European University in Barcelona had authorization from Catalonian authorities to offer programs leading to the Bachelor and Master of Business Administration degrees, but this authorization was withdrawn in 2007 due to the institution's lack of official recognition in its home country of Switzerland.[2] The Barcelona campus is currently a candidate for accreditation by the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs, a US accreditation agency.[3] In August 2009, leading Malaysian newspaper The Star included European University in a list of dubious institutions which are not in recognised accreditation registries.[4]

In May 2008, the Bachelor-level programme "Business Administration in International Management" run by the European University for Professional Education (EUPE) in The Hague obtained accreditation from NVAO, the educational accreditation organisation of the Netherlands and Flanders.[5] EUPE had been independent of the European University since March 2005, however, and its website is no longer operational (as of 1 September 2009).[6]

Alumni

Alumni are monitored through the alumni section of the EU website (called Alumni Grid), a networking site where students place their current situation including professional status.
