Talk:UBIS University

Untitled
While the secondary source references are weak, my acceptance of this AfC hinged on the fact this private school is accredited by IACBE which itself is recognized by the CHEA. ● Thane &mdash; formerly Guðsþegn 03:18, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

Reverted edits
Hi Jbufman, just wondering about the reason why you are reverting all the edits I made when I am only trying to help improving the page by adding sources to justify unsourced content? Nothing personal really, Regards. Janasommer (talk) 08:01, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi Janasommer your link is not independent. Simple. Thanks for helping. (talk) 08:15, 21 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Hello again Jbufman, what do you mean not independent? I don't get it, Janasommer (talk) 08:09, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi Janasommer. It's a press release, on a blog, not verifiable newspaper or magazine.

Swiss diploma
As long as an institute is not accredited by a federal or a cantonal office it is doubtable that it can legally offer Swiss diploma! -- ZH8000 (talk) 17:30, 28 June 2022 (UTC)


 * It can not provide a degree that will pass a verification process by a Ministry of Education, Switzerland. And since Switzerland is part of the ENIC-NARIC body that holds close to 70 MoE around the world, they share the same stance regarding this.
 * Now for the source for what kind of degrees these unrecognised higher education institutions can pass in Switzerland, it is what they call "private degrees";
 * https://www.sbfi.admin.ch/sbfi/en/home/ihe/higher-education/coordination-higher-education-sector/protection-and-recognition-of-the-titles.html
 * - the pdf file https://www.sbfi.admin.ch/content/dam/sbfi/en/dokumente/2017/12/titel-privater-institutionen.pdf
 * states what do these degrees are;
 * "Private institutions based in Switzerland that are not accredited under the HEdA may only issue
 * private degrees. Such degrees:
 * - generally do not confer any entitlement upon the holder to gain direct access to a higher level
 * of studies within Switzerland's public higher education sector;
 * - generally may not be used by the holder to carry out a profession that is regulated in Switzerland;
 * - may be used by the holder to carry out an unregulated profession; appreciation of the value of
 * private degrees is left up to employers.
 * Generally speaking, there are no international agreements protecting the value of private degrees; in
 * all cases, it is up to the national authorities in the host country to decide whether to recognise foreign
 * qualifications.
 * Private institutions are able to legitimately carry out their activities in Switzerland by virtue of the principle
 * of economic freedom. They may also use a name that is not subject to an accreditation requirement.
 * However, this does not mean that the Swiss authorities recognise the studies offered, nor the
 * examinations passed nor the qualifications issued."
 * ..you see UBIS is not a recognised Swiss Universty here is a list of such;
