ENQA - European QA Network

ENQA gathers information, experiences and good practices for quality assurance in the field of higher education. This knowledge is disseminated to institutions working in quality assurance, such as ACE Denmark, and to public authorities and educational institutions providing higher education.

The membership is based on an external review process with ENQA acting as a coordinating body. Compliance with the ESG is central in the review process and thus essential for becoming a member of ENQA and EQAR. Consequently, full membership is an international stamp of approval. The final evaluation report from ENQA can be downloaded from this site.
