International Institutional Accreditation

Apart from study programmes, entire higher education institutions (or sub-units of a higher education institution) can also be subject to accreditation. The focus is on the area of study and teaching, as well. The core question of the assessment is always whether and in which manner a higher education institution ensures the quality of its study programmes and appropriate conditions for its students. The higher education institution is not primarily measured upon external standards, but upon its own quality goals.
