The 'Foundation for International Business Administration Accreditation' (FIBAA) is a renowned international quality and accreditation agency based in Bonn and Zurich, which supports universities in the further development of their services by developing this innovative and future-oriented certification, together with experts.
Digitization is changing the world and therefore does not stop at teaching, studying and academic institutions. New business models, courses of study, processes and markets are emerging at a rapid pace. This makes it all the more important to have efficient quality management systems that offer transparency and orientation to applicants, students, alumni and employers. The FIBAA quality seal "Excellence in Digital Education", developed by experts, is dedicated to this enormously important topic and examines in particular the criteria of a digitization strategy, the qualification of personnel, technical equipment, didactic design and quality assurance.
In the course of the accreditation process, the MCI was able to demonstrate that the standards for excellence in digital teaching were met and even exceeded in certain areas. In particular, the criteria of further qualification of teaching staff, teaching methods, learning platforms and technical support were rated as outstanding by an international panel of experts.
The certificate was presented at a ceremony in July 2021 in the presence of Annette Leja, MCI's Regional Minister for Science and Chair of the MCI General Assembly.
