Ecctis is the only global academic degree assessment and certification agency officially designated by the UK. It is the world's first agency to conduct assessment and certification for international education systems and academic degrees worldwide. Its authority and influence are highly respected in the industry. Ecctis has the world's most complete global academic degree knowledge database, covering more than 4,000 international academic degrees and diplomas, covering 200 countries and regions.
