EFMDA: A Global Standard for Business Education
Founded in 1972, the European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD) is an international, non-profit organisation that supports excellence in management development.
It accredits business schools and their programmes, facilitates quality benchmarking, and fosters collaboration between academia and industry.
EFMD Accreditation is recognised worldwide as a comprehensive evaluation framework supporting responsible leaders’ development and effective management education systems. It promotes continuous improvement in institutions and helps them align with the needs of international business environments.
The EFMD Programme Accreditation: A Rigorous Accreditation Process
EFMD Programme Accreditation is known for being one of the most thorough accreditation systems in higher education. Only 111 European programs hold this label, making it a distinctive quality benchmark.
The accreditation process is built around a conceptual model that spans programme design, delivery, and outcomes.

Three transversal pillars guide the EFMD Accredited assessment system:
- Internationalisation: Integration of global perspectives in programme content and student experience.
