EURASHE is in the advisory board of the QACHE project on Quality Assurance of Cross-border Higher Education.
Underneath are further information on:
The QACHE project aims to address, in terms of information and practical support, the quality assurance of cross-border higher education (CBHE) by looking closely into different ways in which European QA agencies and higher education institutions (HEIs) address the accreditation and quality assurance of the programmes delivered outside of their countries.
The innovative aspect of the project is the creation of a common European quality assurance approach to cross-border higher education which will contribute to the promotion of European higher education in other parts of the world.
The main objectives are fourfold:
- to enhance policy dialogue within European countries and between Europe and other world regions on quality assurance of CBHE, and enhance thus mutual understanding of different approaches to CBHE and different methods in quality assurance;
- to further develop the European dimension in quality assurance;
- to facilitate and enhance the engagement of European HEIs in CBHE provision;
- to protect students against low standard provision and issues related to recognition of CBHE.
