Quality Assurance

further information

Quality assurance is becoming ever more important in developing countries as well. A multitude of new universities and degree programmes of unknown quality are currently being developed. This is why students and teachers need quality seals issued by credible and independent institutions before they pay the often high tuition fees (and frequently run into debt in order to do so).


Employers need information about the quality of graduates when they employ new staff. Neither traditional university names nor perfect marketing ensure that the graduates who have really acquired the relevant knowledge are those who taken on. Neighbouring countries also need to be able to inform themselves about quality across national borders, because more and more graduates are applying for jobs across national borders. Learn more...


In cases like these, we have acquired many years of globally unique experience through our DIES Projects in the establishment of regional quality assurance systems in East Africa and Central America.

Working in cooperation with the DAAD Regional Offices and International Centres around the globe, we run national DIES seminars in neighbouring European regions on the effects of the Bologna Process and the establishment of quality assurance systems.


In the context of DIES Dialogue an international conference with the focus "Enhancing Quality Across Borders - Regional Cooperation in Quality Assurance in Higher Education" was jointly organised with the German Rectors' Conference in Bonn (18.-20.06.2007).
