European Quality Assurance Register for Higher Education


Former Entries on the Register

The quality assurance agencies listed on this page were included on the Register for a period of time in the past.

Where appropriate, the reasons for the agency no longer being registered are included. If no reasons are given, the inclusion of the agency has expired and the agency has not submitted an application for renewal of inclusion. In this case, the agency might have either decided not to inform EQAR about its reasons or requested EQAR not to publish them.

If you find that any particular entry is unclear or inaccurate, please contact us.

  • AQA - Austrian Agency for Quality Assurance (Österreichische Qualitätssicherungsagentur)
    Registered: 2009-10-07 to 2012-11-30
    AQA has ceased operations and thus did not apply for renewal of registration. AQA's functions have become part of the new Agency for Quality Assurance and Accreditation Austria.
  • HETAC - Higher Education and Training Awards Council, Ireland
    Registered: 2009-10-07 to 2011-05-31
    HETAC decided that it would not be sensible to undertake a 2nd external review of the agency to maintain its EQAR registration in 2011, as the agency was expecting to be amalgamated. Since 15 October 2012, HETAC's functions have been taken over by the new Quality and Qualifications Ireland (QQI). QQI is planning to undergo a review against the European Standards and Guidelines (ESG) within the two years to come, and may decide to apply for inclusion on EQAR on that basis.
  • IUQB - Irish Universities Quality Board
    Registered: 2009-10-07 to 2012-10-15
    The functions of IUQB have been transferred to the newly established Quality and Qualifications Ireland (QQI) as from 15 October 2012. The primary purpose of establishing IUQB has thus ceased and IUQB has started the procedure for winding up the organisation. QQI is planning to undergo a review against the European Standards and Guidelines (ESG) within the two years to come, and may decide to apply for inclusion on EQAR on that basis.
  • VLHORA - Flemish Council of University Colleges
    Registered: 2009-04-10 to 2013-05-06
    VLIR - Flemish Interuniversity Council – Quality Assurance Unit
    Registered: 2009-10-07 to 2013-05-06
    VLIR and VLHORA merged into the Quality Assurance Unit of the Flemish Council of Universities and University Colleges (VLUHR QAU), which was awarded provisional registration under the EQAR Merger Policy – see VLUHR QAU register entry
