Renewal of institutional accreditation

While the transitional period of the HEdA ends on 31-12-2022, preparations for the renewal of accreditation – also called reaccreditation - are in full swing.

According to the decision of the Higher Education Conference, the reaccreditation procedure will be carried out on the same legal basis as before (same rules and quality standards). In a broadly supported process, AAQ has adapted some procedural elements in order to simplify reaccreditation compared to initial accreditation. The adaptations were provisionally approved by the Swiss Accreditation Council at its meeting on 16.12.2022. The release of the new guide will follow once approved by the Council, under its new Presidency, in March 2023. Therefore, the AAQ will be able to provide information on the reaccreditation starting at the beginning of April 2023.

If you have any questions, please contact Petra Lauk Kwasnitza (petra.lauk@aaq.ch) and Baptiste Feuz (baptiste.feuz@aaq.ch), who are responsible for the format, or the AAQ project leaders.
