Uniform assessment of international joint programmes is a no easy feat. In response to this challenge, the ministers of the European Higher Education Area have given their agreement to review these programme via the European Approach for Quality Assurance or Joint Programmes. Based on this framework, VLUHR QA has developed a Manual European Approach that ensures the smooth execution of the review, detailing procedures, review criteria, objectives and expectations.

This manual is accompanied by the following annexes:

• Annex 1: Review application
• Annex 2: CV-form
• Annex 3: Code of ethics and independence requirements
• Annex 4: Appeals procedure
• Annex 5: Complaints procedure

* As part of a programme review, an independent and expert panel engages in discussions with the programme and its stakeholders. These discussions normally take place during a site visit to the campus. In cases of force majeure, the discussions may be conducted online or organised in a hybrid format.

Our Manual Programme Review describes, among other things, the review ground, the panel composition and the review process. This manual is designed for programme reviews of institutions without an institutional review, but can also be used by other educational organisations.

Our manual is accompanied by the following annexes:

• Annex 1: Guidance on the review principles
• Annex 2: Review application
• Annex 3: Required annexes for the SER
• Annex 4: Code of ethics and independence requirements
