Abstract
After a consideration of major trends and policies in Europe, particularly the Bologna Process and the Modernisation Agenda, this chapter provides a historical treatment of quality assurance (QA) developments in Europe and seeks to respond to the following questions: Are internal and external quality assurance processes supporting the European transformational agenda and the requirements of knowledge-driven societies? Is the relationship between external and internal QA processes optimal? What is the impact of the European QA framework on the “European dimension” and the trust level across borders and within national QA systems? To what extent is there a development of a European QA market? What could be expected of the new emphasis on metric and transparency instruments in the Bologna Process? The paper is based on several studies conducted by the European University Association.
