Ghent University’s Institutional Review is a Resounding Success

Studenten in auditorium Leon De Meyer - Right before our Dies Natalis, the good news has reached us that NVAO (Accreditation Organisation of the Netherlands and Flanders) will issue Ghent University a positive report. Our university has developed a comprehensive and well-functioning system to monitor and ensure the quality of all our study programmes. That is the conclusion to which the international review committee charged with assessing our quality assurance processes and their implementation at study programme and faculty level has come. Quality Assurance and Multiperspectivism. During the Institutional Review, NVAO found that quality culture at Ghent University is embedded at all policy levels: ranging from our study programmes and faculties to the central administration. The education policy we pursue is aligned perfectly with our vision on education, and works systematically towards our education objectives. The review committee is of the opinion that our evidence-based quality assurance system works, and that it enables us to monitor, develop and ensure the quality of each individual study programme.
