EUR-ACE
A decentralized European accreditation system
of engineering study programmes

ENAEE is engaged in launching in accord with its General Policy Statement and in collaboration with the EUR-ACE® Implementation and PRO-EAST projects, the EUR-ACE® European accreditation system of engineering programmes.

In this system (described in detail in EUR-ACE® document A2) National Agencies accredit study programmes, as they already do, and the EUR-ACE® label can be added to the accreditation, provided the Agency and the programme satisfy the EUR-ACE® Framework Standards. The label will distinguish between "First Cycle Degree" and "Second Cycle Degree", in accord with the European Qualification Framework.

At present, the Agencies authorized to award the EUR-ACE® label are:

  • ASIIN (DE)- Fachakkreditierungsagentur für Studiengänge der Ingenieurwissenschaften, der Informatik, der Naturwissenschaften und der Mathematik e.V.
  • CTI (FR) - Commission des Titres d'Ingénieur
  • ECUK (UK) - Engineering Council UK
  • Engineers Ireland (IE)
  • Ordem dos Engenheiros (PT)
  • RAEE (RU) - Russian Association for Engineering Education
  • MÜDEK (TR) - Association for Evaluation and Accreditation of Engineering Programmes

Universities and other Higher Education Institutions, whose programmes are accredited by one of the above agencies and want also the EUR-ACE® label, should contact the relevant Agency.

Other Institutions should contact either directly one of the Agencies participating in the EUR-ACE® system or the ENAEE Secretariat that will take care of forwarding their request.

Accrediting bodies interested in joining the system should check that their rules fulfil the EUR-ACE® Framework Standards, consult the documents ENAEE Standards and Guidelines for Accreditation Agencies and Application Form for Accreditation Agencies, and contact the ENAEE Secretariat.

Further information can be obtained also from the Secretariat of the EUR-ACE® Label Committee .

A leaflet summarizing the EUR-ACE® system and its operations has been printed: copies can be obtained from the ENAEE Secretariat.
