EU RECOGNISED CUSTOMS ACADEMIC PROGRAMMES 2021

In June, DG TAXUD awarded five academic programmes (Bachelor’s, Master’s, and modules in programmes) with the “EU Recognition Certificate for Customs academic programmes”. In particular, the Commission awarded programmes in Belgium, Latvia and the Netherlands. The recognised academic programmes are expected to significantly contribute to the rise of Customs performance and professionalism.

The aim of the EU Recognition Certificate is to equip students with the optimal competencies to engage in – or further advance in – their Customs career, both in public and in private sectors. Such recognised academic programmes are expected to significantly contribute to the rise of Customs performance and professionalism. Recognised Customs academic programmes (or modules thereof) can make use of the official EU Customs Certificate of Recognition identification statement and are included in the publicly available list of EU Recognised Customs Academic Programmes.
