About Us Accreditations

This was decided by the Accreditation Council following a multi-stage process led by the ZEvA accreditation agency, in which our university has demonstrated the efficiency of its own quality assurance system.

The core questions of system accreditation are: Is the university able to fully and reliably implement defined quality goals? Does it have the necessary committees and processes to subject courses offered to a regular quality check and, if necessary, to initiate improvements? If this level of quality assurance is certified, a university is allowed to accredit its courses itself.

In addition Prof. Dr. Dr. Castulus Kolo: “As a system-accredited university, we can accredit new study programmes ourselves. This enables us to react very quickly to technological innovations or the demands of the job market and to be able to set up relevant study programmes. In the digitally driven, dynamic world of work for which we train, this is an immense advantage.”

Macromedia University received institutional accreditation from the German Council of Science and Humanities for the first time and as early as possible on its fifth anniversary in 2011 and was reaccredited in 2016 and most recently in 2022.

Macromedia University of Applied Sciences holds program accreditations from the external accreditation agencies FIBAA and ZEvA and, since 2019, from its own accreditation bodies.

Programme accreditations confirm the didactic and content quality of the courses. The entire course of study is examined, from the study objectives to their relation to the content, the teaching formats and the forms of examination, at the level of individual modules and for the curriculum as a whole.

It is about the scientific foundation of the teaching, about the studyability, the personnel and material resources and the professional ability of the graduates, and new “employability” – an aspect that is particularly important to us as a University of Applied Sciences.
