Consultancy Projects

CHEPS advises ministries and institutions in a wide range of higher education policy fields from specific issues such as accreditation systems, bursary programmes, efficient funding mechanisms and organisational restructuring to such far ranging challenges as the reform of entire higher education systems. Two of our major consultancy fields are:

Projects concerned with enhancing organisational effectiveness and in developing management capacity. These involve working closely with institutional top management, extensive training programmes for middle managers, organisational restructuring, and specialist support in key areas such as strategic planning, financial management and human resource development. Projects have been undertaken in Mozambique, South Africa, Russia, Poland, Slovenia, Hungary and the Czech Republic.

Projects in the field of quality assurance. Projects have included the development of quality review procedures for the Association of European Universities, the Dutch higher professional education sector, Flemish universities, Romanian universities and technical universities in Slovakia. We have participated in the evaluation of quality assessment systems in Italy, Hong Kong and Russia, and have designed a research evaluation system for use by South African universities.
