System accreditation
The system accreditation procedure appraises the internal quality assurance system in a higher education institution in Germany in terms of its teaching. As an approved agency in Germany, the AAQ checks that all the structures and processes of relevance to teaching and learning meet the criteria of the German Accreditation Council. If a HEI is system-accredited, it can take responsibility for reviewing its own degree courses – programme accreditation is no longer obligatory.
If a decision is made in favour of accreditation, the AAQ will award the seal of the Accreditation Council.
