Master programme accreditation

Since 2015, with the entry into force of the Higher Education Act (HEdA), programme accreditation is no longer mandatory in Switzerland. Programmes are covered by institutional accreditation.

Since 1998, the master programmes (curricula) of the EPFL have been regularly accredited by the French Commission des titres d’ingénieur (CTI) and obteined the EUR-ACE label. The follow-up will take place in December 2025.
