Strict Demarcation & Disclosure Notice
In strict compliance with the Swiss Federal Act on Funding and Coordination of the Swiss Higher Education Sector (HEdA / HFKG):
- Brookfield Group AG and its constituent schools are private Swiss educational providers.
- Awards conferred are private institutional degrees and do not constitute Swiss federally accredited degrees (Bundesdiplome or Eidgenössisch anerkannte Titel).
- Conferral of private credentials does not grant statutory licensure to practice state-regulated professions (such as licensed physician or statutory schoolteacher) in Switzerland or abroad. Prospective students requiring state licensure must verify local statutory requirements independently.
