Description

Swiss Regulatory Framework


Bologna Process

The Bologna Process names the agreements which harmonize the accreditation standards of Europe. The process created not only the EHEA but also the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS).

In the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), peer support focuses on the implementation of three key commitments:
• A three-cycle system compatible with the overarching framework of qualifications of the EHEA and first and second-cycle degrees scaled by ECTS,
• Compliance with the Lisbon Recognition Convention,
• Quality assurance in compliance with the Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the European Higher Education Area.


European Higher Education Area

The European Higher Education Area (EHEA) is a unique international collaboration on higher education comprised of 49 member countries from Europe and beyond. All the Higher Education Institutions in the EHEA use the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS), providing a shared framework for accrediting courses and degrees.
These 49 countries adopt reforms on higher education based on common key values– such as freedom of expression, autonomy for institutions, independent student unions, academic freedom and free movement of students and staff. Through this process, countries, institutions, and stakeholders of the European area continuously adapt their higher education systems making them more compatible and strengthening their quality assurance mechanisms.
Switzerland has been a full member of the Bologna Process / European Higher Education Area since 1999.


European Commission

The European Commission is the executive branch of the European Union. It is responsible for proposing legislation, enforcing EU laws, and directing the Union's administrative operations, including education initiatives and policy-making. It oversees the ECTS system. All EHEA countries have adopted the European Standards and Guidelines (ESG 2015).


Switzerland Higher Education

EIMT is based in Canton Zug in Switzerland, which has been a member of the European Higher Education Area since 1999. Its degrees are fully integrated with the ECTS system. Swiss degrees and qualifications are usually recognized throughout Europe and beyond under the treaty obligations under the Lisbon Recognition Convention.
Higher education in Switzerland is regulated both at the level of the Canton and at the Federal level (by the Ordinance of the Higher Education Council on Accreditation within the Higher Education Sector). Higher education in Switzerland places great emphasis on academic freedom and quality.
