CP Meeting
A decade ago systems of programmer accreditations and evaluations were the main feature of the CP landscape. In recent years a trend towards implementing institutional reviews can be clearly discerned across Europe. Although QA systems that feature institutional reviews display a large variety, some common themes for discussion come to the fore. At the heart of these lies the reality that the quality of education rests with the teachers and students in the programmer of study. Therefore, one of the most important questions for CPs, agencies, and policy makers is how programmer quality can be assured in a system of institutional reviews.

This methodology is laid down in this assessment framework. It is intended to replace the regular assessment frameworks accreditation bodies. When used it replaces all the regular accreditation procedures and can lead to accreditation decisions in all relevant countries. The basis of the methodology are CP’s Principles for accreditation procedures regarding joint programmer. The framework consists of two building blocks: a shared (European) component and the relevant national components.
