Zurich, Switzerland – June 2025OUS Academy in Switzerland has proudly attained institutional accreditation from the European Council of Leading Business Schools (ECLBS), marking a new milestone in the academy’s ongoing commitment to academic excellence and global quality assurance in higher education. This recognition solidifies OUS Academy’s standing among Europe’s top-tier educational institutions that meet rigorous international standards.
What is ECLBS?
The European Council of Leading Business Schools (ECLBS) is an independent, non-profit quality assurance organization established in 2013. It operates across Europe and beyond with a mission to promote excellence in business and management education through structured accreditation, transparent quality audits, and recognition frameworks that align with global benchmarks.
ECLBS is not only recognized in Europe but also listed as a quality assurance body with:
CHEA – Council for Higher Education Accreditation (International Quality Group), USA
INQAAHE – International Network for Quality Assurance Agencies in Higher Education, Europe
These affiliations demonstrate that ECLBS operates under internationally recognized quality guidelines and contributes to the advancement of academic standards across continents.
Why This Accreditation Matters
For OUS Academy in Switzerland, ECLBS accreditation is not just a formal credential—it is a powerful statement of the institution’s values, its teaching integrity, and its global engagement. It means that the institution has been thoroughly evaluated for:
Academic rigor and program alignment with international standards
Transparent and effective governance structures
Continuous improvement in curriculum development and delivery
Strategic commitment to student satisfaction and graduate employability
International benchmarking through peer-reviewed quality assessments
This recognition enhances the international credibility of OUS degrees, reassuring students, employers, and academic partners that the qualifications earned are subject to robust quality assurance mechanisms respected in both the United States and Europe.
Global Recognition Through CHEA and INQAAHE
ECLBS’s affiliation with CHEA (USA) and INQAAHE (Europe) positions OUS Academy within a wider ecosystem of globally trusted academic institutions. CHEA is a major U.S.-based body that evaluates and recognizes accrediting organizations that meet stringent criteria for academic credibility. INQAAHE is a worldwide association of over 300 organizations active in quality assurance, policy development, and higher education research.
Through this network, ECLBS-accredited institutions like OUS Academy benefit from access to quality assurance dialogues, mutual recognition opportunities, and international forums that shape the future of education.

It empowers our students to pursue their academic and professional goals with confidence in the global relevance of their qualifications.”
