Luxembourg

NVAO safeguards the quality of higher education in the Netherlands, Flanders and Luxembourg. The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg has designated the NVAO as the quality assurance agency. Based on NVAO's conclusion 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 conclusion 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.
