SCBS
All our accreditations and recognitions
What is accreditation?
In France, private schools, particularly business and engineering schools, must obtain official recognition for their diplomas to be considered equivalent to those issued by universities. This recognition is based on two main levels: Visa and Grade.
These accreditations are issued by the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research (MESR). In addition to national accreditations, there are international accreditations which are recognized worldwide.
These recognitions (accreditations, labels) certify the quality of a program or school, according to criteria (or standards) established by the latter and covering several fields (strategy, teaching, scientific research, student life, internationalization, professionalization, etc.).
