Review of QAA for the purpose of re-confirming ENQA membership

This year QAA will undergo an external review to assess the level of its compliance against the Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the European Higher Education Area (ESG), in order to re-confirm membership of the European Association of Quality Assurance Agencies (ENQA) for a further five years. This is a 'Type A' ENQA review, and therefore its sole purpose is to fulfil the periodic review requirement of ENQA membership; it is not an organisational review of QAA itself.

A self-evaluation document has been produced and circulated to the Review Steering Group and the Review Panel.
