It is the intention of SEE University to comply with European best practices in quality assessment, evaluation, and accountability. The University is developing its curricula, programmes, and quality assurance mechanisms to ensure maximum compatibility with the European Higher Education Area as described in the Bologna Declaration and the statement following the Ministers of Higher Education meetings. SEEU is participating in a European University Association Quality Culture III project and continually keeps up with developments within the European Network for Quality Assurance and other education quality bodies.

SEEU has responded to the challenge of the Bologna Declaration by appointing an external, part-time expert (“Quality Champion”), focused on continuous quality improvement, to work with the University’s Quality Assurance Commission and Faculty Commissions, including stakeholder representatives.

SEEU has already implemented successful evaluation models, such as student evaluation and staff evaluation. In the 2004/2005 school year, the overall participation of the students in the process of evaluation increased to 40%, helping to build the quality culture and strengthen the SEEU community identity.

Another example of SEEU’s commitment to quality education is the Preparatory Year we offer. The purpose of this year is to prepare students with the basic academic foundation to continue further studies at the University.

The European University Association (EUA) Review Team has produced an evaluation of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats at the University with recommendations that guide us to improve our quality towards the standards of top European universities.
