The EThames Educational Framework (EEF)

Built on 4 Foundational Beliefs

1

Personality Transformation is Essential

We don’t just teach skills, we build personality. A 27 module personal success course runs through all the 6 semesters. This is not an extra-curricular. It is a core part of what makes EBS graduates world-class.

Whatever We Teach, It Must Be World Class

Every course, module, and credential follows global standards. Students have access to world class online resources to compliment their learning in the class room.

Every Student Must Graduate as a Professional

By graduation, every Ethames student has real professional evidence of capability with globally recognized certifications like US CPA, ISC2, CRMP, capable of performing a specialist role in the industry.

Industry Integration Is Non-Negotiable

Education without industry integration is incomplete. We partner with Big-4, global experts in professional services and industry associations, to train and certify students in Cyber Security, Investment Banking, Risk Management and entrepreneurship etc.
