`  == Politecnico di studi aziendali legal status ==  The Federal Administrative Court (TAF) decided that exist in Switzerland - national - basically two forms of recognition for colleges. This is, on the one hand, the recognition of a university as a person entitled to benefits under the Federal Law of 8 October 1999 on support for universities and cooperation in higher education (Law on Assistance to universities, LAU, RS 414.20), on the other accreditation in accordance with Art. 7 para. 1 of the Convention of 14 December 2000 between the Federal Government and University Cantons on cooperation in the university sector (RS 414 205). Both the recognition according to the LAU is accreditation are awarded solely as a result of an examination of the quality (art. 11 cpv.3 letter. at LAU; Art. 7 para. 1 of the Convention of 14 December 2000 between the Confederation and the University Cantons on support for universities and cooperation in higher education). The recognition according to the LAU is aimed at the provision of federal subsidies and is the responsibility of the Federal Council (Art. 12 para. 1 LAU), accreditation, by contrast, is conferred by the Conference Swiss University (art. 7 para. 1 of the Convention of 14 December 2000 between the federal government and University Cantons on cooperation in the university sector) and is a mark of quality, which does not confer on its holder the right to a federal financial aid (see. FF 1999 243, 355), (judgment of TAF of August 13, 2013 B-5924/2012, consid. 2.1, p. 10 et seq.). Accordingly, the mere exercise of a university is not subject to authorization and is based on the freedom of science and economic freedom, as stated in the preamble of the now decayed authorization of the State Council on 14 February 2006. ISSEA sa is then free to confer titles, without that this requires an estimate accreditation or recognition subsidies and must be considered as recognized by national law (judgment of the TAF of 13 August 2013, B-5924/2012, consid. 2.1, p. 11). The CRUS, is not responsible neither for accreditation or for recognition under the LAU and the list developed by this authority can be at most a working tool, not expounding this list legal effects (judgment of the TAF of August 13, 2013 B-5924/2012, consid. 2.1, p. 13Equni (talk)  Recognition and university accreditation in Switzerland: rulings clarifying The legal issues on the real value of the recognition and accreditation University in Switzerland have been resolved by some judgments of the Swiss Federal Courts. Recognition in the university system The Federal Court judgment with 5A-376/2008 of 7 May 2008 confirmed that the cantonal license to use the name ``university`` is a recognition of the status of universities in the Swiss university system, and say the opposite is true.

Switzerland is not required prior authorization and / or state recognition to provide training in settoreuniversitario, organize examinations or issue qualifications. There is the legal value of the securities. Federal or cantonal authorities, within their respective powers, ensure in cases provided by law on the activities of private universities. In Switzerland, except cases specially regulated by law, the judge of the quality and value ofa training is the user or the labor market before the state. In accordance with the tendenzeinternazionali, were introduced in Switzerland accreditation procedures optional (quality certification and / or quality marks) does not discriminate between public offering and private. Accreditation is voluntary and certifies only a external quality assurance and does not imply any recognition of the validity of Questa of that training by the state. The university sector in Switzerland is complex and consequent to the Eurosystem's federal country (A tertiary according classificazioneinternazionale): the federal government regulates and controls the Federal Institutes of Technology and the Universities of Applied Sciences (UAS) pubblicheo private. The cantons, according to the Federal Constitution of Switzerland, have sovereignty over the cantonal public universities and private ones operating in its territorio.In each canton then there are laws that govern the cantonal universities so different matter. The Confederation and the cantons have common skills regarding the coordination and development of quality, through the Swiss University Conference (CUS), joint body of university policy academic public.

Regarding the value of the securities issued in Switzerland university academics: for the purposes of the exercise of a regulated profession (eg medicine, advocacy, etc.), are cantonal or federal laws regulating the profession that determine which titolisono recognized. For unregulated professions (eg, management, journalism, etc.) Is up to the fact aldatore work ``recognize`` whether or not the value of a degree; significant may be the accreditation or at least a quality certification issued by private entities generally recognized. For the purpose of further studies, is the university where you will continue its work that recognizes the value of a previous title. As is the case for equivalence of qualifications, universities are based on national standards. Private universities recognized to belong to the teaching system based in Switzerland, although not accredited (ie that did not require quality certification optional), however, have the constitutional right to grant university degrees who, without any difference from those issued by public universities, are valid for: the right of access for the purpose of continuation of studies in the university system (public) in Switzerland and abroad, in accordance with national laws and the Lisbon Convention of 1997, the Council of Europe on the mutual recognition of qualifications; for the exercise of regulated professions in Switzerland under the directive of the European Union CE / 2005/36 into force in Switzerland on 1 November 2011; for the purpose of Switzerland's non-regulated professions, that is the free assessment of the companyEquni (talk) `
