Reporting on programme quality
- In order to start a new programme, you need a positive decision from NVAO. The programme is now accredited.
- Afterwards NVAO takes an accreditation decision.
- After a positive accreditation decision KdG becomes responsible for its quality assurance through a system including a programme review among other processes.
Institutional review
KdG: a University of Applied Sciences with an excellent quality report
- All universities of applied sciences and universities in Flanders are assessed every 6 years through an institutional review.
- In 2022–2023, KdG underwent its second institutional review.
- This again led to a positive decision, based on a particularly positive final report from the assessment committee.
KdG pursues an effective education policy, evaluates and improves it, including through its own governance structure that safeguards the quality of its programmes.
Safeguarding the quality of your education
- KdG uses a fixed system of 3 processes to continuously monitor and improve the quality of every programme.
- No one time check but a recurring cycle.
New programmes are not subject to programme reviews until they have received a positive accreditation decision from NVAO.
The annual evaluation of learning and assessment materials is implemented from the outset, alongside safeguarding and communication activities, except for the formal safeguarding decision.
