Labels in training programmes

	ULiège benefits from the three labels of the European Commission: ECTS, Diploma Supplement, and HR Strategy for Researchers. These guarantee the quality of reception, information, and working conditions for Belgian and international students and researchers.

	The training programmes of bioengineers and civil engineers are EUR-ACE accredited, a label of the ENAEE (European Network for Accreditation of Engineering Education). In France, these programmes are recognised by the CTI (Commission of Engineering Titles).

	HEC Liège, Management School of the University of Liège, has international EQUIS accreditation (for the College) issued by the EFMD (European Foundation for Management Development) as well as, since August 2018, the prestigious AACSB (The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business) quality label.

	The Faculties HEC Liège and Gembloux Agro-Bio Tech have joined the club of member institutions of the Conférence des Grandes Ecoles.

	The Faculty of Gembloux Agro-Bio Tech is ISO certified and a member of Société européenne pour la formation des ingénieurs (SEFI). The Faculty's compliance with the ISO 9001 standard attests to its sustained and continuous efforts to improve course quality and the support offered to students in terms of organization, timetables, facilities and internships.

	Since 2022, the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the University of Liège has been re-accredited by the Association of European Veterinary Educational Institutions (AEEEV). The European veterinary experts praised the effectiveness of the Faculty's educational initiatives in meeting quality standards.

	European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) awarded its quality label to three international masters programmes in February 2022: EMerald, AMIS and AMIR. The University of Liège thus becomes the European university most involved in international masters courses having received the EIT label.

	The Master's program in translation at ULiège's Faculty of Philosophy and Humanities is part of the European Master's in Translation (EMT) network set up by the European Commission's Directorate-General for Translation (DGT).

These different labels guarantee the quality of internal procedures making it possible to attain academic excellence for training programmes, Faculties, and the University as a whole.

These quality labels are important benchmarks for students while they choose their programme. For alumni, they are reassured of the benefits of a diploma recognised by professional circles.

After having been the first European university in 2014 to receive the GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) certification for the quality control of medication, ULiège has been the first university in the world pre-qualified by the World Health Organization (since 2016).
