About EURISS

The association and the Institute

The European Higher Education Quality Council (EHEQC) is the association behind EURISS. EURISS is the educational name through which the association presents its schools, programmes and learning activities. The association and the Institute therefore describe the organisational and educational sides of the same structure.

A non-profit educational purpose

Our non-profit orientation places educational purpose at the centre of our work. We aim to develop learning that is thoughtful, relevant and clearly explained, with respect for learners’ time, effort and individual goals.

Our educational mission

Our mission is to connect academic learning with the questions facing people, organisations and society. We seek to help learners build knowledge, exercise independent judgement and use their abilities responsibly.

Our educational philosophy

Knowledge across disciplines

Science, business, the humanities and professional practice offer different ways of understanding the world. We encourage learners to connect these perspectives while developing depth in their chosen field.

Independent thinking and academic integrity

Learning begins with questions. Our approach values careful reading, reasoned discussion, the evaluation of evidence and honest acknowledgement of sources. Understanding matters more than repeating an answer.

Learning through enquiry and application

Cases, analytical tasks and projects can help learners connect concepts with practice. We aim to develop the ability to define a problem, consider alternatives and communicate a well-supported response.

An international outlook and lifelong learning

We value dialogue across cultures and respect for different experiences. Education should support continued intellectual and professional development, including for learners returning to study after time in work.

Different starting points. A shared commitment to learning.

Our programmes are intended for people at different stages of their educational and professional journeys. Choosing a pathway begins with your interests, previous learning and future direction; entry requirements are considered for the selected programme.

What we aim to develop

• Subject knowledge: understand the concepts, methods and questions of your chosen field.
• Reasoned judgement: compare evidence, recognise uncertainty and explain the basis of a decision.
• Communication and collaboration: present ideas clearly, listen carefully and engage constructively with other perspectives.
• Responsibility and adaptability: consider the effects of your work and continue learning as knowledge and professional contexts change.

Our academic community

Ten schools connect our subject areas, from computing and management to education, media, health and the humanities. Each school provides a distinct academic focus within a shared commitment to thoughtful, responsible learning.

Teaching and study formats

Study formats are specified for each intake and programme. The spring 2027 intake is delivered online through distance learning, with subject resources, structured study tasks and academic engagement.

A European perspective, open to the world

For EURISS, a European perspective means openness to intellectual exchange, different cultural experiences and the relationship between knowledge and society. We encourage learners to examine a subject beyond a single national or professional context and to approach unfamiliar ideas with curiosity and respect.
