Luxembourg

NVAO safeguards the quality of higher education in the Netherlands, Flanders and Luxembourg. The Minister of Research and Higher Education in Luxembourg has designated NVAO as the quality assurance agency to carry out the assessment procedures for the accreditation of the BTS programmes provided by Lycées and the bachelor's and master's programmes offered by specialised higher education institutions in Luxembourg.

Based on NVAO's accreditation advice and the underlying assessment report, the Minister of Research and Higher Education in Luxembourg takes the accreditation decision. After the accreditation procedure, NVAO publishes its accreditation advice and the underlying assessment report on its website and in DEQAR. The Minister’s accreditation decision is published on the website of the Ministry of Research and Higher Education and in DEQAR.
