Regarding the University

International University in Geneva is not listed in the three webpages as sources by the Ministry of Education in Switzerland accreditation;

Under the guiding principle from SAC this institution does not hold the HEdA-u designation AAQ to call itself a University legally; https://www.sbfi.admin.ch/sbfi/en/home/ihe/higher-education/coordination-higher-education-sector/protection-and-recognition-of-the-titles.html

The HEdA came into effect on 1 January 2015. With HEdA, the designations “university“, “university of applied sciences” or “university of teacher education” and derived designations such as “university college” or “UAS college” can only be used by public or private institutions that have been institutionally accredited by the Swiss Accreditation Council. This also applies to designations in languages other than Swiss national languages. Other designations such as “academy”, “school”, “institute”, etc. remain unreserved and do not require accreditation.

The Institution article is using misleading wording, self sourced links, outdated pages, dead links for some serious claims. (UNESCO list of Universities comes to my mind when i was browsing the page) In one instance they used the reputable University de Geneve as a cooperating listing for degree programs between institution. These offenses are serious.

Also the BAC referenced with the European Quality Assurance Register for Higher Education (EQAR) states the Institutional accreditation for BAC was valid from 2017 untill 31/10/2021. Which was proxy wise giving some kind of partnership recognition to IUG.

With the new changes at the start of 2023, i am not sure if this Institution will be able to hold the name it has,as of my writing. They will be able to award the so called "private degrees" but being established in Switzerland and using the word University is not something they will be able to do. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ErrgoProxy (talk • contribs) 11:32, 28 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Move : name change from IUN to IIG

The IUN changed name to IIG and as a consequence it would be good to update this page's title to International Institute in Geneva instead of International University in Geneva. XavierPN (talk) 15:00, 15 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
