Accreditation

Accreditation of higher education institutions and programs is an external means of assuring higher education quality. The aim is to ensure quality in teaching and education, improve international comparability and create transparency.

MBA Program CSR & NGO Management successfully reaccredited until 2027

All study programs at the Department of Management Sciences at Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences have officially been reaccredited by the Agency for Quality Assurance through Accreditation of Study programs (AQAS) in 2020. AQAS accreditation verifies the quality of a program of study and creates transparency. The accreditation process considers whether subject-related quality standards are fulfilled and the manageability of the program. AQAS accreditation thus helps ensure international comparability and recognition and provides a reliable reference point for candidates wishing to apply for the program. 

The MBA in CSR & NGO Management program is accredited by the independent accreditation organization AQAS, the official German agency for the accreditation of study programs The first accreditation for the Master of Business Administration in CSR & NGO Management program was approved in September 2009 and has been extended until September 2021. The subsequent re-accreditation of the MBA Program took place in December 2020 by AQAS. 

We are pleased to announce that our program has been successfully reaccredited until 2027 and has been awarded the AQAS Seal of Quality.
