EIMT Doctorate Program reputation

[Harry101]

It's a diploma mill and quite a new one might i add. Established in 21.10.2022. By an Indian National which i might add he does not list himself any where on the EIMT webpage.. could be the whole thing is a one man show. And no, the institute does not hold any Swiss Accreditation or is in any kind of possession.

Very bold of him to quote " EIMT is fully authorized to offer higher education courses, organize examinations, and issue degrees in line with the provisions of the Office circular titled “Validity of degrees issued by private higher education institutions in Switzerland” issued by the Federal Department of Economic Affairs, Education and Research EAER, Switzerland and State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation SERI, Einsteinstrasse 2, CH-3003 Bern, dated December 2017."
- He got the name of the file right but the file states if you are not in possession of the government approval your degrees are not part of the Swiss educational system. And that means you can not award ECTS. All you can do is print a paper which they call "private degrees".

Further more (in the document) you can only use said "private degrees" in non regulated professions, also your credits will not be recognised by the Swiss educational system should you wish to continue education, you can not list them under education in CV. The employer should he wish can take it up on him self to make a judgment should he wish to recognise gained qualifications. Any derailment from said perametars you could be liabel for credential fraud.

But that was before 2023. Now the government did decide to put a stop to this, hence why IMD even for something like MBA decided to get the recogniton.
