Quality in Higher Education

Quality Assurance - Accreditation

Quality assurance (QA) or quality management (QM) is essential for private and public higher education providers. No functioning QM management system results in not being accredited which translates into no licence to operate.

I have had various roles in quality assurance for higher education institutions such as CEO in charge of Quality Management, Dean, Quality Manager, and Consultant. Up to now, thumbs crossed, 100% success rate.

Expertise in the field of institutional accreditation (European education system; Bologna process) and program accreditation (ACBSP, IACBE).

I support my clients to go beyond compliance and build a learning organization:

  • QA-Audits

  • Design of the QA-System

  • Development of outcome-oriented measurement systems

  • Planning of the accreditation process

  • Project management

  • Self-Studies: support with professional expertise

The services will be in line with the specific needs of the client. The scope is from a quick check to a multi-year engagement.
