Since joining the European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (ENQA) in 2002, FIBAA has expanded its activities internationally, accrediting over 5,600 study programs in numerous countries including Switzerland, the Netherlands, Vietnam, and Indonesia.

Over the past decades, FIBAA’s expertise has grown significantly, both nationally and internationally, covering disciplines such as business administration, law, IT, education, natural sciences, as well as social and humanities subjects, including interdisciplinary fields.

FIBAA holds cooperation agreements with foreign agencies of quality assurance in Kazakhstan, Georgia, the Netherlands, Ukraine and Turkey.

She is fully responsible for the strategic direction and operational business of the organization and is heavily involved in developing quality standards and accreditation processes for educational programs.

To assist its clients, FIBAA has developed Assessment Guides for each type of the accreditation procedure, containing all relevant quality criteria in the form of questions and definitions of benchmarks.

This committee consists of independent experts from academia, business, and practice, ensuring a sound and objective evaluation of submitted study programs, institutions, and continuing education offerings.

FIBAA evaluates and accredits bachelor’s, master’s, and PhD programmes at state and state-recognized universities, as well as at newly founded institutions.

For accreditations outside Germany, FIBAA considers the respective national regulations and combines them with its own quality standards and requirements.

FIBAA staff members regularly participate in the training provided by the Accreditation Organisation of the Netherlands and Flanders (NVAO) to qualify as secretaries.

This procedure is aimed at universities and faculties, departments, or schools that wish to document their quality through an institutional review, for example, to promote international cooperation.

With a successful certification, FIBAA ensures the transparency and comparability, also internationally, of the respective courses (EQR Levels 5 to 8).
