Quality Areas
To work systematically with quality assurance, we have divided the concept of educational quality into five areas.
Accreditation, Reaccreditation, and the Establishment of Study Programmes
NHH has established procedures for both the accreditation and reaccreditation of degree-awarding study programmes, as well as for the establishment of non-degree study offerings.
Periodic Programme Evaluations
NHH conducts periodic programme evaluations of all degree awarding study programmes every five years.
Reports and Surveys
NHH produces a range of regular reports that contribute to educational quality enhancement in different ways.
