About Us

United International Business Schools (UIBS) was originally established in 2006 in Barcelona, Spain as an umbrella organization for business schools in Belgium and Spain. UIBS has its roots dating back to 2002 when its first school opened in Barcelona, Spain.

In 2010, UIBS regrouped its member schools and became a single multi-campus institution active in Barcelona, Madrid, Antwerp and Brussels. In 2010, Zurich, Switzerland was introduced as its new main campus, with Geneva, Milan, Tokyo and Amsterdam added as additional campuses in the following years. Also introduced was its sister institution, the United School for Liberal Studies (USLS). UIBS and USLS operate as one but offer a different set of programs.

Today, United Institute is an independent and private multi-disciplinary higher education institution with campuses across Europe and Japan offering flexible business and management studies as well as liberal and global studies at the Undergraduate and (Post)Graduate level.

We are institutionally accredited by the EQAR-listed British Accreditation Council (BAC) as well as by the ENQA-affiliated Association for Transnational Higher Education Accreditation (ATHEA). Several of our campuses have also achieved institutional certification, and most of our business programs have achieved programmatic accreditation from external agencies.^[1]

United Institute strives to combine academic and professional excellence with the stimulating advantage of a small scale and cross-cultural community of students and professors.

[1] Several programs are accredited by European Council for Business Education (ECBE), a registered affiliate of the European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (ENQA) and, at some of the campuses, by the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP), an organization recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) in the USA.
