European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education
Overview
The European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (ENQA) is an umbrella organization that represents quality assurance agencies in the European Higher Education Area (EHEA). It was established in 2000 to promote and enhance the quality of higher education in Europe by providing a forum for discussion and cooperation among its members.
ENQA's main role is to support its members in developing and improving their quality assurance activities, as well as to promote cooperation and mutual recognition of their accreditation and quality assurance systems. It provides guidance on good practices in quality assurance and encourages the development of new approaches and methods.
ENQA also works closely with other organizations involved in higher education, such as the European Commission, the European University Association (EUA) and the European Students' Union (ESU), to ensure that quality assurance activities are consistent and effective across the EHEA.
Considering all this, according to uniRank ENQA plays a crucial role in ensuring that the quality of higher education in Europe is maintained and continuously improved and that the degrees awarded by its members are recognized and valued throughout the region and beyond.
