Incentive for Self-Improvement

National and international accreditations are decisive for Frankfurt School´s quality management system. Accreditation is a process of external review used to assess an institution and its programmes/activities for quality assurance and quality improvement.

Accreditation processes provide the School with an opportunity for critical self-analysis, and typically include a self-evaluation, peer-review and a review of strategic plans. It also provides an incentive for self-improvement and opportunity for consultation and advice from external experts. We are currently in the final stages of re-accreditation with all accreditation bodies.
