European Approach for Quality Assurance of Joint Programmes

European Approach available to all higher education institutions

All higher education institutions with degree awarding power are able to approve their own awards and therefore they can employ the European Approach for the quality assurance of their joint programme. This is notwithstanding the fact that the approval of their own awards must be done according to the UK Quality Code for Higher Education.
