ALL BACHELOR’S AND MASTER’S DEGREE PROGRAMMES AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TWENTE ARE ACCREDITED BY NVAO, THE NATIONAL ACCREDITATION ORGANISATION. NVAO COMMISSIONs A REVIEW OF each PROGRAMME ONCE EVERY SIX YEARS.
Programmes at the University of Twente are accredited every six years. The assessment of existing programmes involves a site visit carried out by an NVAO-approved panel of independent experts. The programmes must demonstrate that their educational practice meets the quality standards. The assessment focuses on the quality achieved and addresses the intended learning outcomes, the teaching and learning environment, student assessment, and the achieved learning outcomes.
accreditation Reports
As part of the assessment of an existing programme, a development meeting also takes place either during, or at a separate time from the site visit. In this meeting, the panel and the programme discuss the most important developments and improvement areas for the programme with a view to the future. The panel ensures that the development meeting provides a safe context in which to discuss challenges and future developments without any conclusion being drawn from this. The panel is responsible for reporting on the development meeting. These recommendations for further development of the programme must be made public by the institutional board. Both the accreditation report and the development report (where available) can be found below.
