Universidad Europea de Madrid is one of four Madrid universities that participated in 2017 in designing the SISCAL programme, a new certification model that was launched by the madri+d Knowledge Foundation in 2018. This model responds to the need to comply with the institutional accreditation approved by Royal Decree 420/2015, of 29 May. In 2018, we were the first university in Madrid to present one of our centres—the Faculty of Sports and Exercise Sciences—for evaluation under this programme. After undergoing this evaluation, from 2020 onwards, the School of Exercise and Sport Sciences is certified as having successfully implemented the IQAS under the SISCAL model, with the centre receiving the corresponding institutional accreditation.
The Degree in Physical Activity and Sports Sciences (CAFYD) at Universidad Europea de Madrid is accredited by the European Health and Fitness Association (EHFA) and the U.S.-based National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA).
For the fourth consecutive year, the Universidad Europea de Madrid has received the highest accreditation, Gold Level Campus, from the global health initiative Exercise Is Medicine on Campus, promoted by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM). This distinction recognizes the university's commitment to integrating physical activity into campus life and promoting health among its community. Notably, it is one of only two universities in Spain to achieve this recognition.
