RECOGNITION AND ACCREDITATION

European Leadership University (ELU) is a fully recognised European university established in 2015 with the official decree and approval by the Ministry of Education and Culture in Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.

We have received Institutional accreditation in 2016 and achieved full programme accreditation in 2017 by the Higher Education Planning, Evaluation, Accreditation and Coordination Council, Nicosia which is represented at The European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (ENQA), the umbrella organisation for recognised government accreditation agencies in the European Higher Education Area (EHEA).

We are an international higher education institution and not a local Dutch university. We are constantly working to achieve further accreditation both in the Netherlands and Europe as a part of our international quality assurance goals.

We have chosen Amsterdam as our employability hub as it is one of the top 3 fastest growing economic regions in Europe with more than a hundred thousand new jobs in three years.

We are a partner of the Amsterdam Economic Board and an active member of its Corporate Network Council allowing us to connect our students with potential employers in the Amsterdam Metropolitan Area. Additionally we work in partnership with the Amsterdam Institute of Technology, which is a recognised sponsor for IND in Netherlands to facilitate employment opportunities for our students.

PARTNERSHIPS

"The genesis of ELU was a small training firm in Istanbul with a big heart and vision of the future of education. ELU is now a world leader in technology-driven talent development. ELU matches the growing and unsatisfied demand from the corporate world for relevant skills with the supply of degree-level young talent from countries where students could not normally afford to take the risk of getting a degree without the guarantee of a job. By leveraging the latest technology to deliver education and training in a low cost flexible way, it can serve a global market and help solve some of the world’s economic migration problems. ELU is an exciting investment opportunity because the global growth potential is huge and barriers to entry are high. I am very proud to have been involved from the start of this journey."
