The European Quality Assurance Register for Higher Education (EQAR) has officially announced yesterday that the application of MusiQuE – Music Quality Enhancement to be listed on EQAR has been successful.
On 27th of May 2016, an important milestone in promoting and aligning professional accreditation on the global level was reached.
The MusiQuE Board is responsible for all decision-making and further development in relation to the activities of MusiQuE.
As the standards and procedures developed by MusiQuE are meant to answer the constantly changing needs of higher music education institutions and of the artistic profession, it is crucial that they are revised regularly.
An increasing amount of institutions has approached MusiQuE for the organisation of review procedures in the past months.
MusiQuE has taken over from AEC the (affiliate) memberships of the European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (ENQA) and the European Alliance for Subject-Specific and Professional Accreditation and Quality Assurance (EASPA). The AEC has been an affiliate member of ENQA since January 2011 and a founding member of EASPA.
MusiQuE has been developing a framework for the evaluation of artistic research units in higher music education institutions over the past months.
MusiQuE has signed a formal cooperation agreement with ZEvA, the Zentrale Evaluations und Akkreditierungsagentur, Hannover, and the Hochschule für Musik Karlsruhe for a (re-) accreditation review of eleven Bachelor and Master programmes.
