EBS Business School has been awarded the prestigious AACSB accreditation, placing it among the 12 AACSB accredited business schools in Germany. AACSB is one of the oldest and most respected global accreditation bodies for business schools and is known for its high-quality standards and commitment to academic excellence.
The AACSB committee not only valued the high academic standards of EBS Business School, but also highlighted the high level of practical orientation, the close relationships with business partners and the cohesion between students, alumni and professors. The AACSB accreditation is an external confirmation of the excellence of EBS 's teaching and research. This award underscores our commitment to shaping the leaders of tomorrow.
AACSB (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business) is a global not-for-profit organisation that brings together educators, students and businesses to achieve a common goal: to educate the next generation of leaders. Since 1916, AACSB has stood for the highest standards of quality, providing quality assurance, business education information, and learning and development services worldwide.
In 2022, EBS Universität was reaccredited by Wissenschaftsrat, the German Council of Science and Humanities, for the next 5 years.
This academic seal of quality is awarded to non-governmental universities whose performance in teaching and research meets recognised scientific standards. The period of accreditation by the Wissenschaftsrat is for a maximum of ten years, depending on the outcome of the review process. The Wissenschaftsrat is one of Germany’s most critical science policy advisory bodies and advises the federal and state governments on developing universities, science and research. In the multi-stage accreditation procedure, which includes the submission of a self-report by the university and a visit to the university by an external group of experts over several days, the university is evaluated in eight key areas. These include its academic quality in research and teaching, its structures and equipment, and its quality assurance and development.
All study programmes at EBS Universität are accredited by the Accreditation Council and are reviewed regularly in cooperation with the accreditation agency FIBAA.
The superordinate Foundation Akkreditierungsrat is an association of the German federal states aiming for quality assurance in learning and teaching at German universities. Since 2018, following the conversion of the German accreditation process, the Akkreditierungsrat has focused on the decision of accreditations. These are based on reviews of the accreditation agencies on programme accreditations as well as system accreditations. Thus, the Akkreditierungsrat plays an essential role in the final evaluation of the respective study programme. The Accreditation Council only accepts expert reports from accreditation agencies that have the EQAR registration of the Accreditation Council. The degree programmes at EBS Universität have been assessed by FIBAA, which is notably recognised in business and economics.
The CHE Hochschulranking is the most comprehensive and detailed ranking of German universities. It includes data about studies, teaching, equipment and research, and students’ assessments of the learning conditions at their university in the ranking.

In addition to the comparative criteria, prospective students can choose from a wide range of descriptive features on study and teaching.

The ranking is a confirmation of the excellence of EBS's degree programmes and executive education programmes in providing the knowledge and skills necessary for a successful career. It assesses several important criteria such as graduate satisfaction, employment rates and salaries after graduation, emphasising our commitment to helping our graduates build successful careers.

The QS World University Ranking has been examining the development of universities and colleges worldwide for almost 20 years and provides an overview of their qualifications.
