Institutional Accreditation: Strategic Management


 

Subject and objectives of the procedure

Subject and objectives of the procedure

The Institutional Strategic Management Accreditation focuses particularly on innovative, entrepreneurial and internationally oriented Higher Education Institutions (HEI). The procedure contains a comprehensive evaluation of the institutional strategy. Higher Education Institutions receive feedback on the future prospects of their structures and processes as well as impetus for further development. The relevant areas of the Higher Education Institution in this procedure are: 

  • Management;

  • Networking;

  • Teaching and Learning;

  • Research; and

  • Dynamics.

The procedure gives the Higher Education Institution a detailed evaluation of it’s strengths and weaknesses and shows the essential future opportunities and threats. This enables the HEI to identify and take efficient measures to achieve the self-imposed goals.

A successful Institutional Accreditation is valid for 6 years (initial accreditation) or 8 years (re-accreditation).

Procedural Steps

  • preparatory discussion about the procedure and conclusion of contract

  • appointment of the review panel (5 experts - three members from Higher Education Institutions including one country expert of the HEI’s country, one student member and one member from the professional field) 

  • compilation of a self-evaluation report according to the FIBAA Assessment Guide 

  • site visit of 2,5 - 3 days at the HEI 

  • compilation of the assessment report by the review panel

  • statement on the report by the HEI 

  • final accreditation decision of the F-ACC

  • possibility of a complaint to the procedure with an email to info[at]fibaa.org or an complaints procedure regarding the committee’s decision 

  • publication of the accreditation report
