In September 2018, the BFUG formally established this Thematic Peer Group C on Quality Assurance (TPG C on QA) – more specifically on Key Commitment 3 (Quality Assurance in compliance with the Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the European Higher Education Area) – based on the interests and needs indicated by the BFUG members and Consultative members in a survey conducted during the summer of 2018.

Specific thematic indications include topics such as:

• legislative framework in line with the ESG (introducing changes),
• ensuring effectiveness of internal quality assurance arrangements, including the use of QA results in the decision-making process and quality culture as well as links to learning and teaching,
• the role and engagement of stakeholders in internal and external QA (students, teachers, employers) and
• Cross-border QA and European Approach to accreditation of joint programmes.
