Programmes and frameworks

Design pathways that can be read, taught and assessed.

An academic architecture built around competences.

Each AEES programme starts from a graduate profile and the competences expected in a defined academic or professional context. These competences are translated into learning outcomes, structured content and assessments capable of measuring mastery. This architecture ensures coherence between what is announced, taught and attested.

The five award families — AEES Executive Certificate, Bachelor of Science, Master of Science, Master of Business Administration and Doctorate of Business Administration — serve distinct purposes. Their level of demand, workload, degree of autonomy and nature of output progress according to the intended profile.

The Academy defines frameworks, quality criteria and assessment rules. Partner institutions mobilise their teaching teams, resources and knowledge of learners to provide teaching and support. This model combines institutional coherence with local delivery capacity.

What every programme must make explicit.

The framework connects the graduate profile, expected achievement, the learning pathway and the assessment decision.

01

Audience and admission

Who the pathway is for, which prerequisites are required, and what remains the candidate’s responsibility.

02

Intended competences

The capacities the award attests, written so that they can be observed and assessed.

03

Learning outcomes

What the student must demonstrate at the end of the pathway, distinct from a list of topics or hours.

04

Aligned assessment

The tasks, mark scheme, board and pass conditions correspond to the competences announced.

The academic value of an AEES award.

Each award embodies a structured pathway, rigorous assessment and a clearly expressed level of mastery.

01

Academic coherence

Objectives, content, activities and assessments form an aligned whole around the intended competences.

02

Assessment rigour

Success is based on observable output, explicit criteria and a traceable academic decision.

03

Quality of delivery

Teams, resources and teaching arrangements are reviewed against the programme actually offered.

04

Readability of the award

The public specification presents the pathway, admission, assessment and competences attested in an accessible format.

Each public specification remains the reference for what is taught, assessed and issued.
