Step 1: Information
Contact the FEDE by email on: mailbox@fede.education or using the form above to obtain information regarding the FEDE and its activities or to begin the admission process.
Step 2: Application
The applicant institute fills in the membership application form and returns it along with:
- All of the documents required to process the membership application;
- The supporting documents requested;
- The membership application handling fee;
- The admission fee. These fees will only be cashed upon final approval for admission declared by the sovereign body: the FEDE Committee.
The institution reads the detailed affiliation procedure and accepts all of the related provisions.
Step 3: Examination of the application
Once the completed file is received, the membership application is examined by the FEDE Office of the Chairwoman.
If the Office of the Chairwoman deems it necessary, it designates a FEDE representative, who is recognised for his/her expertise and impartiality, to visit the institute and present his/her opinion.
The Office of the Chairwoman adds the application of the applicant institute to the agenda and presents it to the elected members of the FEDE Committee.
The FEDE Committee deliberates on the admission of the applicant school and takes one of the following decisions: “favourable”, “opposed” or “requires further processing”. The FEDE Committee meets on a quarterly basis.
Step 4: Full membership
If the Committe issues a favourable decision
The Office of the Chairwoman then registers the newly admitted FEDE institution in the register of FEDE member schools.
The institution must pay the annual subscription fee for the year in progress.
Step 5: The school becomes a member of the FEDE
The newly admitted institution joins the network and benefits from the comprehensive set of FEDE tools and services.
Upon receipt of the final admission decision, and in compliance with the Statutes and Internal Regulations, the institution can:
- Use the FEDE acronym and logo in its publications;
- Present candidates for FEDE exams and certificates as well as offer the FEDE tools and services at the disposal of our member schools: European diplomas, international accreditations, DBAs, Dual Degrees, pedagogical resources, publications, etc.;
- Participate in the activities of the Federation;
- Benefit from the support of a European body endowed with participatory status with the Council of Europe.
