‘excellent’ and consider it exemplary for other institutions.

Standard 3: Excellent

Standard 4: Excellent
The qualifications and experience of the staff of ES, combined with the appreciation of students for  their commitment and language skills and the research-stimulation are applauded by the audit panel. This standard is judged ‘excellent’.

Standard 5: Good 
The learning community of ES is truly an important matter for students, staff and management at ES and the audit panel judges this standard as ‘good’.

Overall judgement 

The programme is awarded a ‘good’ for Standards 1 and 5, and an excellent rating for Standards 2, 3 and 4.

Based on the programme’s documented internationalisation goals, the programme has successfully implemented effective internationalisation activities which according to the panel demonstrably contribute to the quality of teaching and learning.

In tune with ECA’s assessment rules which decide that a programme certifies for Quality in Internationalisation when at least three out of the five standards are assessed as good or excellent and no standard is assessed as unsatisfactory, the panel proposes that the bachelor European Study of The Hague University of Applied Sciences be awarded the Certificate for Quality in Programme Internationalisation.
