May I use previous degrees from private or unaccredited universities? Is ASIC UK considered valid accreditation for EUCLID purposes? What about ATHEA?

EUCLID University welcomes applications from candidates with degrees earned at private universities, subject to the following clear policy:

• Private universities: Degrees from properly accredited private institutions are fully accepted. In nearly all cases, proper accreditation is confirmed by the institution being listed in the UNESCO/IAU World Higher Education Database (WHED).
• Unaccredited universities: Degrees from unaccredited institutions are not accepted. This is generally a disqualifying factor for admission.

Specific accreditors you asked about:

• ASIC (UK): ASIC accreditation is not recognized as a valid accreditor for EUCLID admission purposes.
• ATHEA: ATHEA accreditation is recognized as valid because ATHEA is an official EQAR candidate agency.

If your previous degree is from a private university that meets the above criteria (especially if it is WHED-listed or ATHEA-accredited), simply upload/email the transcripts, degree certificate, and any supporting accreditation documents with your application. Our Admissions Panel will review them during the evaluation process.

If you are unsure whether your specific previous university or accreditor qualifies, we strongly encourage you to contact us before submitting your application. Send a brief email to [email protected] with the name of the institution and any accreditation details, and we will provide a quick preliminary assessment.

We look forward to receiving your application and are here to help make the process as clear as possible.
