Accreditation Commission
The Accreditation Commission is the responsible body and decision-making authority for accreditation procedures abroad(international accreditation, audits in Austria, accreditations in Switzerland).
The Accreditation Commission has a supporting function within the framework of the assessments of study programmes and quality assurance systems at state universities in Germany coordinated by EVALAG. This relates primarily to the composition of the expert committees.
The Accreditation Commission is made up of permanent and associate members. The associate members are involved in the procedures on an ad hoc basis.
