International Programme accreditation

ZEvA offers higher education institutions located outside of Germany accreditation of their study programmes, thereby certifying their conformity with the European Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the European Higher Education Area (ESG). The assessment is designed as a peer review and can cover single study programmes or a bundle of subject-related study programmes. The ZEvA Commission (ZEKo) takes the final decision on accreditation.
