Marketing Quality
• MBAs use their own private certification labels. (EQUIS / AMBA / AACSB)
• Simple Message: Label Guarantees Quality– Triple Accreditation = World Leader– Single / Double = Excellent
• Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard and MIT – no mention of certification, quality processes on front page of websites

Demand for Quality
• The European Student movement:– Key driver of QA process in Bologna
Process– Trains its own QA experts and reviewers– Chairs the EQAR register in rotating

European Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance
• Impetus came from 2003 Berlin Communique of Ministers
• ‚E4‘ group (ENQA/EUA/EURASHE/ESIB) tasked with developing the standards and guidelines for themselvesl
• Stakeholders continue to maintain ESG (MapESG project), organise reviews, accredit QA agencies, etc
