Provide your expertise - Become an EQANIE auditor
EQANIE auditors are renowned experts for the study programmes submitted for review, they are appointed by the EQANIE Executive Board. They participate as independent experts from academia or professional practice, who make their judgements as individuals and independently. Auditors do therefore not represent interests of individuals or act as agents for particular organizations.
You are interested in quality assurance and development of study programmes at Higher Education Institutions (HEI). Ideally (but not necessarily), you already have dealt with questions of certification, evaluation and accreditation. If your work is business-related you should, in addition, have an idea of what you / your company expects of graduates at Bachelor and Master level.
Our expert auditors are, as a rule, teachers in academia or experts from professional practice, i.e. from private and public companies. Student experts are - where possible - part of the auditing team. They have gained first experience in higher education.
