EUROPEAN UNIVERSITY DIPLOMAS NOT WORTH THE PAPER THEY ARE PRINTED ON - XAVIER NIEBERDING REMOVED FROM SCHOOL BY OFFICIAL ACT OF BELGIAN CONGRESS
Strangely absent from the homepage of the European University is the name of its original founder, the Belgian conman Xavier Nieberding. His leadership is a chapter this institution would very much like to forget. Xavier Nieberding founded the European University in 1973 as his personal get-rich-quick scheme. Give us your money and we will give a piece of paper that we shall call "a diploma" that has no academic value whatsoever and isn't even worth the paper it's written on. The people who fell for this con were mostly students from Third World countries like India and Indonesia who, when they heard the terms "European" and "University" mistakenly believed that they were investing their money in a prestigious academic institution. Instead, conman Nieberding had simply chosen a catchy phrase that's completely in the public domain. Students were put through a series of pseudo-lectures that had nothing to do with the real business world but instead provided the cover to give the appearance of study so that their gullible third world parents could be separated from the last of their savings. Ever the sly conartist Mr. Nieberding cleverly succeeded in talking several lower institutions at the other end of the planet who had never heard of him into exchanging credits and classes. Unknowingly, these institutions provided Nieberding with the much-needed superficial appearance of legitimacy. The con was so successful that the business was franchised out to others who opened up "campuses" of their own in different cities all across Europe. Nieberding collected from them as well. As time passed by, however, word got out and no credible academic institution wanted anything to do with him. Eventually, he was kicked out of various academic institutions such as the A.A.C.S.B. when the number of complains about the European University grew simply to big to ignore. Nieberding and his underlings continued to make false claims that they were still the member they had once been. And as long as the money kept coming in from gullible Third World students like India and Indonesia, his operation continued to make a profit very much at the cost of those who had been tricked into sending their children there. By 1997, the Belgian school authorities had received so many complaints that the Belgian Parliament stepped in and held hearings. Xavier Nieberding immediately fled to Switzerland where he is suspected of having secretly transported large sums of money to avoid paying his full share of taxes. The multitude of complaints and grievances brought before the Parliament was so serious that the Belgian authorities decided to make use of a little known Belgian law, and as an official act of Congress, took the school away from him. Xavier Nieberding was forced to resign and the European University was given a new management. And ever since then Xavier Nieberding has become the laughing stock of the Belgian educationary system. His dream of ruling over an empire of schools shattered by an official act of Congress, Xavier Nieberding's sphere of influence is now confined to the European University's former headquarters situated at Jacob Jordaenstraat 77, Antwerp, Belgium, where the single school he allowed to run is today known as the rather insignificant "International School of Management" and also as " The International Management Institute". No serious scholar of business would want to waste their time there. As soon as the new management of his other campuses still operating under the name "European University" discovered that the personnel of the various academic institutions they had once been kicked out of had changed, they simply reapplied and reinstated a new membership with a new personnel that knew nothing of this applicant's ugly and deceitful history. Because its practice of making false and misleading statements unfortunately continues to this day, prospective students contacting the European University are advised to verify any of the claims that they make directly. Contact the institutions that the European University claims to be "a member of" or "in touch with" in person any verify anything that they claim to be with directly with whomever they claim it to be with. Obtaining payments and fees on the basis of deliberately false and misleading statements is fraud and those who perpetrate it can be criminally prosecuted for it. Whatever (for lack of a better term) "diploma" they issue still has no value whatsoever. Neither academic, nor in the real business world, where this institution and anyone showing up with a phony pseudo-degree from them is simply considered a pathetic joke.

Comments
As a former student of the European University and student of Dr Nieberding and as a CEO / manager for the last 25 years I can say that the education I received at the European University was far better than I have seen in many Belgian and European schools and universities.
The teaching was always practical and useful unlike some state universities where you spend years learning math while you need only commercial arithmetic. Dr Nieberding was a person as I knew him, who managed an education business like many other US based and international universities. These are businesses. He always tried to help his students in any way he could. He treated everybody kindly and respectfully.
Many of my class students went to the USA to prestigious universities to do their MBA's and did well. This is a tribute to the quality of the teaching they got at the European University.
Furthermore, as a manager who had over 150 MBA students in internships from all over Europe and the USA under my direct management for periods of 3-6 months each, all I can say is that the teaching I got was often better than the one they got.
Last but not least, the Belgian parliament and senate are themselves a joke, taking care of things that are needless and that have no connection with real people's reality or needs. Dr Nieberding is a very unique person that does not fit into the Belgian mentality. So they took away from him the word 'University' come on! is that a reason to say such things and to diminish the work of thousands of students that worked hard and got their degrees? By the way, soon probably the word 'Belgium' will be taken away as things go by... does this mean that all Belgians should be written off because of a small minority? You know Libya and Iran are part of the Human Rights commission of the UN. Does this mean that there is democratic human rights and free speech in those countries? I think that the writer does not understand certain things in life. Wow the Belgian senate has decreed, wow!!!
I wish I could tell Dr Nieberding how thankful I am to him like thousands of other fellow students that owe him so much.
Let us classify you under the category "envious".

Hello dear all,
i studied in European University Barcelona for my bachelor and European university Geneva for my masters... Biggest mistake of my life... I wanted to continue my studies in London, only two universities were ready to enroll me, and ATTENTION they wanted me to study for two years for the same degree i obtained in EU and than continue with other degrees. Ive also received a confirmation that European Uni is not recognized in England.
Furthermore i wanted to try something else and decided to apply to Webster... Guess what, a private american university denied my enrollment. They said i can only start over as freshman, because European University degree is not recognized by american instituitions.
I adressed this question to administration of European University Geneva, after a while they just started ignoring my letters.
Plus i dont know if this issue was adressed in this forum (havent had the chance to read all). European university Barcelona had several law cases and probems... and there used to be a European University Lisbon, which just closed.... (i wonder why)
So, i highly recommend, to check for a different Uni.

That doesn't sound so "envious"...
European University, led by Dr. X. Nieberding, led and inspired me to develop my academic talents to their fullest as well as to commit my performance to excellence, always.
Dr. X. Nieberding, himself, has served me as role model of a visionary business man, a singular philanthropist and an example of a committed Catholic lay IN DAILY ACTION.... something that no many of us can state about ourselves!
Simply, he would rather perform goodness in silent (only for God's Eyes), while letting others play "their own role", including saying "whatever" reflect their poor or wealthy spirit and mind.
Dear Grover:
Furthermore, it is not what that "piece of paper" can do for you; but how good you can perform afterwards and in a consistent manner. I have also encountered problems to validate my credentials HOWEVER I have not let that stop me from continue believing how competitive I could be once I am assigned to a business project BECAUSE if I will ask the rest (of people) to respect my professional credentials, I would rather deliver it right and excellent first, so when later they ask me where I graduated from... Once again, I will proudly say: I am a MBA and MIS graduate from the European University in the wonderful country of Belgium!
fakes its own glowing comments and references.
Makes perfect sense.
The Swiss government recently passed a law that forced the "European University" to call itself a "university".
Currently, the place is called "E U Business School".
Expect more name changes as its reputation continues to drop,
faked, phony-balloney "glowing reports" and "testimonials", such as those above & below, nonewithstanding.
At the E U Business School formerly known as the "European Univedrsity"
everything -- and I do mean E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G -- is a bold-faced lie!
AVOID THIS SCAM PLACE!!!

I'd like to reconnect and talk to you sometime soon. Please send me a request thru LinkedIn.

I'm almost 32 years old and worked 2 apartments together all by myself. So I must admit yes the school where I went to really paid of for me and I'm happy that I went there and got my degree I'm really not ashamed. It's like Nieberding always said ad augusta per angusta ( the highest top of the mountain is only reachable by taking the smallest and most difficult roads)
Don't forget that a professor at the Royal university in Leuven (KUL) also allowed his girlfriend to pass an exam which she never took and got a degree which she also didn't deserve!!!
What matters a degree, at the end you always have to show what you're worth. If the Belgian university degrees were so fantastic I believe there would be less people on the dole but for sure not everybody which has a degree is qualified for his or her job and they have to try an other area.
It's quite easy to blame a school when you don't succeed in your career maybe you should blame yourself!!!
It's a common mistake which is made by many people trying to search the fault by somebody else, while we should search the fault by yourself.
The last note I would like to say: If you would put so much energy in improving your self as you have done in writing this complaint I'm pretty sure that nobody would doubt on your diploma knowledge and qualifications.
Let me finish this reply by saying to you: I'm happy I got my degree there which may be worth nothing for you, guess what FOR ME IT IS WORTH A LOT OF MONEY AND IT GAVE ME A GREAT CAREER It'S A MASTER KEY WHICH OPENS MANY DOORS.
LONG LIVE THE EUROPEAN UNIVERSITY AND INTERNATIONAL MANAGEMENT INSTITUTE

DISGUSTING how the European University tries to attract international students by spreading such balloney and lies!

Any analogy about individual actions at other schools is just as misleading and irrelevant as all the phony degrees issued by the
European University.
To all those dumb enough to fall for Nieberding's schemes
here are a few institutions where you can get your fake degree
for a lot less money...
