Questions of Quality in Europe and Beyond: QSC HE Report Number 1 - QSC01This report contains two papers, which examine international aspects of quality in higher education from contrasting perspectives.
The first paper by John Brennan - 'Higher education quality: a European dimension' - looks at the various needs and opportunities for higher education institutions to be active in Europe and the implications for quality, which they raise. It goes on to review the results of recent studies of the comparative quality of educational programmes in several European countries.
The second paper by Frans van Vught is entitled 'Towards a general model of quality assessment in higher education'. It examines the various systems of quality assessment and assurance which have been developed in North America and Western Europe and, out of them, sets out a general model of quality assessment in higher education.
John Brennan is Head of CHERI. Frans van Vught is Rector of the Dutch University of Twente.
