Quality Assurance

In higher education, the term quality assurance refers to all the policies, ongoing review processes and actions designed to ensure that institutions, programmes and qualifications meet specified standards of education, scholarship and infrastructure. The Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the European Higher Education Area adopted by Ministers in 2005 and commonly referred to as the European Standards and Guidelines (ESG) provide guidance on quality assurance to agencies and institutions. The European Quality Assurance Register for Higher Education (EQAR) set up in 2008 is designed to list those agencies which operate in accordance with the European Standards and Guidelines and the appropriate national legal provisions.

The European Higher Education Area aims at providing learners with equal opportunities in higher education, fostering social cohesion and maximising the potential of individuals in terms of their personal development and their contribution to a sustainable and democratic knowledge-based society.

Employability has been one of the main objectives of the Bologna Process from the very start. Each cycle of higher education should be relevant to the labour market.

Lifelong learning has been recognised as an essential element of the European Higher Education Area since 2001. It is inherent in all aspects of the Bologna Process and is furthered by improving the recognition of prior learning, including non-formal and informal learning and allowing learners, for instance, to alternate between work and study.

The basic priorities of the European Higher Education Area provide a common strategic framework to which all stakeholders in the European Higher Education Area can make their full contribution, building on a wide variety of existing and new initiatives.
