SWISS QUALIFICATION
A Swiss Private Degree
The Swiss qualification within SwissEU™ is awarded by the European Institute of Management and Technology (EIMT), Switzerland, a private education institution based in the Canton of Zug.
EIMT qualifications are Swiss private institutional awards, issued under EIMT’s own academic regulations, assessment requirements and quality-assurance framework.
They represent a distinct part of the Swiss education landscape and should be distinguished from degrees awarded by Swiss higher education institutions institutionally accredited under the Swiss Higher Education Act (HEdA).
Swiss Private Institutional Award
EIMT provides the Swiss qualification within the SwissEU™ dual-qualification model.
As a Swiss private education institution, EIMT issues its qualifications under its own academic framework, with defined admission, assessment and quality-assurance requirements.
The qualification therefore carries a Swiss private institutional status, rather than the status of a degree issued by a HEdA-accredited Swiss university or university of applied sciences.
SWISS STATUS
Private Institutional Award
Professional Specialisation
The EIMT qualification adds a professionally focused academic profile to the SwissEU™ dual-qualification experience.
Where applicable, the EIMT award identifies the learner’s field of professional specialisation, allowing the Swiss qualification to communicate a more specific area of expertise alongside the broader nationally recognised European qualification.
This creates a complementary qualification profile combining:
European Recognition + Swiss Professional Specialisation
PROFESSIONAL VALUE
Specialised Qualification Profile
ACBSP Accreditation Candidate
EIMT has been granted candidacy status in the accreditation process of the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP), an international organisation specialising in the accreditation of business and business-related education programmes.
Candidacy represents a formal developmental stage in the ACBSP accreditation process, during which the institution progresses through the applicable quality review and accreditation requirements.
Current Status: Accreditation Candidate
Candidacy is not the same as accreditation. EIMT and its programmes will only be described as ACBSP-accredited if and when accreditation is formally granted by ACBSP to the applicable programmes.
QUALITY DEVELOPMENT
ACBSP Accreditation Candidate

The accreditation provides an additional external review of EIMT’s institutional quality practices and educational operations.
It is separate from institutional accreditation under the Swiss Higher Education Act (HEdA) and does not represent Swiss governmental accreditation.

- Swiss Private Institutional Award
- Professional Specialisation
- ACBSP Accreditation Candidate
- International Quality & Professional Profile
Together, they create a distinctive dual-qualification proposition:

[Important] Recognition Beyond the Awarding Country
International recognition is never automatic.
Universities, employers, professional bodies, credential evaluation agencies and government authorities may apply their own requirements when evaluating foreign qualifications.
The EAI qualification derives its formal status from Malta’s national higher education framework and its applicable MFHEA programme accreditation.
The EIMT qualification is a Swiss private degree and should be evaluated as such by the receiving organisation.
Learners intending to use either qualification for regulated professions, government employment, further study, immigration, formal degree recognition or other regulated purposes should verify the applicable requirements with the relevant authority before enrolment.
