The Bachelor in International Business and Finance (Master’s level) programmes offered at the Wroclaw University of Economics and Business have been granted the international EFMD Global programme accreditation for the maximum period of five years.
The Wroclaw University of Economics and Business has been a member of EFMD since 2013. The Finance programme (Master’s level) was first accredited in 2015 and subsequently re-accredited in 2021. In 2022, the EFMD Global accreditation was awarded to a third programme at WUEB: the Bachelor in International Business (BiIB).
Holding the EFMD Global accreditation confirms the prestige, high quality, and effective governance of the accredited study programmes. It is a recognition of the University’s continuous commitment to improving education quality, developing research, fostering innovation, and strengthening international cooperation.
‘The re-accreditation of the Bachelor in International Business and Finance (Master’s level) programmes also reflects a positive evaluation of the developments and improvements implemented since the previous accreditation cycles.
The re-accreditation of the programmes within the EFMD framework inspires us to continue improving both programmes.
