QUAA — Quality & University Assessment Agency

Quality deserves evidence.
Trust deserves verification.

QUAA develops transparent criteria and evidence-led approaches to reviewing universities, academic programmes and digital learning. Through QUAA Education, we focus first on European-informed higher education quality reviews with clear methods and public accountability.

What we are building

A clearer way to establish confidence.

We design review approaches that make quality understandable, assessable and open to scrutiny. Credibility starts with transparent rules — not an impressive badge.

Defined criteria

Published review criteria, interpretation notes and version control offer a consistent basis for evidence-led discussion.

A review built to be understood

From a defined scope to a clear conclusion.

Every credible review needs an intelligible process, documented evidence and a decision mechanism that is protected from commercial influence.

01

Define the scope

Eligibility, objectives and boundaries agreed before evidence is collected.

02

Evaluate evidence

Documents, interviews and learning environments reviewed against clear criteria.

03

Report findings

Strengths, gaps, conditions and recommendations documented with traceable reasoning.

04

Publish responsibly

Where a valid decision has been made, the public record shows exactly what was reviewed.

Open by principle

No shortcuts.
No invented records.

The QUAA Public Registry is designed to protect the value of an assessment: searchable scope, evidence, review status and a stable reference for each legitimate published outcome.

There are currently no completed QUAA reviews in the public registry. The absence of entries is intentional, and reflects our development stage.
