Accreditation and studies FAQ

Is it possible to use the titles from LIGS University?

Yes. Our graduates receive a diploma from LIGS University, which they can legally use.

Is it possible for the degrees to be recognized by the government of my own country?

As a global online university, we do not have experience with the recognition in other countries (our students and graduates come from at least 75 countries), as the students need to manage that themselves (in compliance with the laws of their country). 

Our students at LIGS University study for their personal development, to improve their professional knowledge, to take advantage of an effective online education, and to become part of an international community. Their primary goal is not a recognized title in their country.

Recommendation: If your goal is to obtain a recognized title in your country, we cannot guarantee that and we recommend that you get informed at your local department of education before applying.
