Accreditation

RBS is the first state institution of higher education in Latvia to be given the IQA (International Quality Assurance) award. We pursued and obtained CEEMAN (Central and Eastern European Management Development Association) IQA Accreditation because it mirrors our commitments to growth, development and rigorous quality. RBS is the only school in Latvia with its MBA delivered in English to have international accreditation.

RBS higher education programs have the highest possible accreditation awarded in Latvia which is renewed every 6 years. As of now, the Baltic IT Leadership program is accredited until December 2022, but all others – Bachelor of Business Administration, Masters of Business Administration, and Executive Masters of Business Administration – are until May 2027.
