EUA
European University Association
External examiners play a vital role in the maintenance of academic standards. That’s why, in 2007, Politécnico de Leiria applied to be evaluated by the European University Association (EUA).
At the time, EUA suggested 23 short-term changes and improvements on strategic planning, institutional governance and management, as well as internationalisation and development of internal quality assurance systems.
Three years later, EUA carried out a follow-up institutional evaluation.
In its final report, EUA said they were impressed with Politécnico de Leiria’s progress and the fact that we were able to implement most of their first recommendations.
