Abstract

Quality assurance (QA) has long been applied in the corporate sector to ensure stakeholder satisfaction, compare standards with those of other organizations and raise standards in the face of competition. Applying rigorous QA and accreditation to educational processes and outcomes, particularly in higher education, is a more recent phenomenon. This chapter examines these issues in regard to conventional university education.
