Eastern Mediterranean University (EMU), once again, achieved a significant success in the field of international higher education. Accounting and Taxation Applications Associate program and 3-year Accounting and Taxation Application program offered at the EMU Vocational School of Information Technologies and the School of Computing and Technology (SCT) have qualified to be awarded with an unconditional accreditation from the Foundation for International Business Administration Accreditation (FIBAA), one of the leading quality assurance institutions across Europe. In consequence of an evaluation meeting held at EMU by the FIBAA Accreditation and Certification Committee, it was officially confirmed that EMU’s relevant programs fully meet international quality standards.
As part of the FIBAA accreditation process, an evaluation board consisting of international experts carried out an in-depth assessment of the programs, reviewing their curriculum framework, the adequacy of learning outcomes, the qualifications of academic staff, assessment methods, student support services, physical and technological resources, and quality assurance and continuous improvement systems. The alignment of the programs with industry expectations, the availability of practical training opportunities, and structures supporting graduate employability were also among the key criteria examined.
In accordance with the decision taken by FIBAA, the two-year Accounting and Taxation Applications Associate Degree Program has been awarded the FIBAA Quality Seal for the period from 13 April 2026 to 12 April 2033, while the three-year program has been certified with the FIBAA Quality Seal for the period from 30 January 2025 to 29 January 2032.
EMU Information Technologies Vocational School and SCT Director Assist. Prof. Dr. Mustafa T. Babagil stated that the achievement was the result of EMU’s commitment not only to academic excellence but also to an education model that is practice-oriented and closely integrated with the sector, emphasizing that the unconditional accreditation granted by FIBAA demonstrates that the programs implemented fully meet international quality standards.
“A Strong Testament of our International Quality Vision”
Making remarks on the topic, EMU Rector Prof. Dr. Hasan Kılıç underscored that this achievement is a result of university’s quality-oriented vision, stating; “The unconditional accreditation granted by FIBAA to our Accounting and Taxation Applications Programs is a clear indication of EMU’s strong commitment to international standards in education and training. This achievement is the result of the dedicated efforts of our academic staff, our continuous improvement approach, and the high-quality educational environment we provide for our students. We will continue our work with determination to ensure that such internationally recognized accreditations increase further. The accreditation awarded by FIBAA not only enhances the international recognition of our graduates’ diplomas but also advances EMU’s position within the global higher education arena. I sincerely congratulate all academic and administrative staff who contributed to this success”.
