Wittenborg International Business Administration NVAO AccreditedWittenborg International Business Administration NVAO Accredited

Hogeschool Wittenborg has been awarded a positive decision from the NVAO with regards to the accreditation of its successful Bachelor of International Business Administration programme. The programme, known as the IBA Bachelor was audited by the Netherlands Quality Agency in June of this year, and visited by a Dutch and International panel, who spoke to staff, students, alumni, representatives from business and the IBA management. The programme scored positive on all aspects of the audit and visitation.

NVAO (Nederlands-Vlaamse Accreditatieorganisatie) is the Accreditation Organisation of The Netherlands and Flanders. It was established by international treaty and guarantees the quality of higher education in the Netherlands and Flanders by means of accrediting study programmes.

The IBA programme is administered by a team of Dutch and international educators, abroad under the name Wittenborg International University of Professional Education, however in the Netherlands the programme will be offered to Dutch students as part of the courses at the Hogeschool Wittenborg.

With its IBA programme, Wittenborg has shown that it can offer quality higher education at a lower cost than at similar state funded institutions, while also offering its students extra support and excellent opportunities for training and work experience in companies.

Wittenborg is working together with its partners in the UK, Russia and Switzerland to bring specialized adaptations of its IBA programme to those countries, exporting Dutch higher education, rather than buying in education from abroad. It aim is to allow students from home and abroad to have the opportunity to spend a part of their study period in an other country, while remaining under the Wittenborg’s education and quality system.

In September the Management of the Hogeschool Wittenborg and Wittenborg International University of Professional Education merged, and the structure and systems of the accredited IBA programme will be used to improve and strengthen the not-accredited and failing Dutch bachelor programmes of Communication, Banking & Insurance and Real Estate Management.
