Accreditation granted:

• CEEMAN IQA (International Quality Accreditation)

On February 6th, 2020 our University received international institutional accreditation CEEMAN International Quality Accreditation (IQA) - one of the most prestigious and valued in the field of managerial education. Accreditation was granted for a maximum period of six years. See the certificate.

IQA is awarded to universities by the International Association for Management Development in Dynamic Societies CEEMAN, which has over 200 members from around the world. IQA is a quality certificate confirming the fulfillment of requirements for efficient functioning, a good level of teaching and research, financial stability as well as high-quality education. This is the first international institutional accreditation granted to our University, and also the only one among other HEIs in Silesia. This way, we joined the group of 27 accredited CEEMAN institutions from around the world.

The direct benefit of obtaining an international accreditation is greater recognition on the global market. In turn, our faculty will be more attractive partners for international research teams. In addition, the value of the EU Katowice diploma in the region, the country and abroad is rising, increasing the employability of our students. Employers hiring graduates of accredited universities can count on the fact that they will have theoretical knowledge, but also highly developed social and managerial competences that allow applying this knowledge in a business environment.
