Focus of external quality assurance

  • Programme and institutional evaluation.

Can higher education institutions choose a suitable EQAR-registered agency?

Yes, all Armenian higher education institutions can choose an EQAR-registered agency for their mandatory external quality assurance.

  • Eligibility requirements for foreign agencies: EQAR registration is sufficient.
  • Condition for the agency's work: agencies follow their usual, own standards and procedures. Prior to starting their accreditation procedure the higher education institution should inform national agency (ANQA).
  • Recognition of reviews carried out by EQAR-registered agencies: automatic. The results of the accreditation are listed in the State Accreditation Register. 
  • Further information/regulations: Government Decision No 301 dated on March 19, 2014 on amendments and supplements in the Government Decision No. 978 dated June 30, 2011 on Regulation of State Accreditation of the Educational Institutions providing professional education programs in the Republic of Armenia, their specializations (bullets 11 and 19).
