National External Quality Assurance Requirements

  • Evaluation of Master Study Domains
    the evaluation procedure started in 2018. The results of the evaluation are valid for five years.
  • Programme evaluation/accreditations
    is valid for five years and must be renewed regularly. Programmes should receive a provisional authorisation granted by the Ministry. The institution should apply for accreditation of the programmes. The deadline for submitting the application for the accreditation of programmes is 2 years from the date of graduation of the first students promotion.
  • Institutional evaluations/accreditation
    is valid for five years. Institutional audit of HEIs and simplified institutional evaluation are also possible for institutions compliant with certain conditions, according to the provisions of Law no. 199/2023 with subsequent amendments and additions. A legal entity acquires the status of an education provider, after obtaining the provisional authorisation. The external evaluation procedure for institutional accreditation starts at the request of the education provider. The application deadline is 3 years from the accreditation of the first short-term study program, bachelor degree or study domain, as the case may be.
  • Evaluation of Doctoral Study Domains
    the evaluation procedure started in 2021. The results of the evaluation are valid for five years. The doctoral study domains' evaluation is carried out for accreditation or for the renewal of accreditation, while accreditation is awarded in two steps – authorisation (evaluation for the establishment of a new doctoral study domain, introduced in 2022) and accreditation.
  • Evaluation of institutions organising doctoral study programmes (IOSUD)
    the evaluation procedure started in 2021. The results of the evaluation are valid for five years. Starting with the new evaluation cycle, according to Law no. 199/2023, the periodic evaluation of institutions organising doctoral study programmes (IOSUD) will be carried out as part of the institutional evaluation process.
  • Evaluation of Postgraduate study domains and permanent education
    the evaluation procedure started in 2025

Verifiable Credentials

A Verifiable Credential (VC) is a digitally-signed and thus tamper-evident document containing information on a subject (e.g. personal information, entitlements of an individual, degrees held by an individual or accreditation of a higher education institution). Quality assurance results recorded in DEQAR can be downloaded as W3C-compatible Verifiable Credentials.

Currently, two types of credentials can be issued:

EBSI Verifiable Accreditations (VA) can be used by a higher education institution in the context of the EBSI Early Adopters programme.

  • The VA allows the institution to prove its external quality assurance on the Trusted Issuer Registry (TIR). EBSI VAs are only issued for external quality assurance results with an official status in a national system (“part of obligatory EQA system”).
  • At present, the higher education institution’s EBSI DID needs to be communicated to EQAR and recorded in DEQAR manually at the moment. If you are a higher education institution participating in EBSI, please contact us to register your DID.
  • EBSI VAs are issued by EQAR under its DID did:ebsi:zk4bhCepWSYp9RhZkRPiwUL.

DEQAR Format Verifiable Credentials primarily serve as a proof of concept and public demonstrator currently.

  • DEQAR Format VCs are based on the plain W3C Recommendation and our own data model. While they closely follow the EBSI Schema, no EBSI-specific or EU-specific elements or data types are used.
  • The higher education institution is identified by its DEQAR URI in this case.
  • DEQAR Format VCs are issued by EQAR under its DID did:web:data.deqar.eu.

Please note: this is an experimental feature.
