Requirements for quality in accredited study programmes – tertiary vocational education

All study programmes at vocational colleges must comply with national requirements for educational quality. This also includes study programmes established by colleges with self-accrediting rights in specific academic disciplines. The requirements for quality in study programmes are outlined in the Act relating to tertiary vocational education, the Regulations concerning quality assurance and quality development in higher education and tertiary vocational education (by the Ministry of Education and Research), and the Regulations on the accreditation, supervision, and control of tertiary vocational education (by NOKUT).
