Quality assurance and accreditation procedures serve to systematically review and further develop these aspects \u2013 with the aim of guaranteeing transparent standards, strengthening trust in academic degrees, and continuously improving educational offerings. Accreditations confirm that an institution or a study program meets quality standards. They also form a basis for the recognition of degrees and titles, and thus for mobility within the European Higher Education Area. In the accreditation process, a panel of experts is involved, with one member of this group being a student.     <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are different types of accreditation procedures. You will find an overview <a href=\"https:\/\/aaq.ch\/akkreditierung\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/aaq.ch\/akkreditierung\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-8f3d66f8 gb-headline-text\"><strong>Your role as a student<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The perspective of students on study content, supervision, learning conditions, and opportunities for participation in their studies is essential. Their voice contributes to further developing and improving the quality of higher education in the interest of students.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nominated students take part in an accreditation procedure as equal members of the review panel. Serving as a student reviewer is not only exciting and instructive \u2013 it is also fairly compensated (CHF 1,200 \u2013 2,400). In addition, you gain valuable insights into quality assurance and higher education development, and you have the opportunity to contribute to high-quality teaching.  <\/p>\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-25fbb167 gb-accordion\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-843afbe3 gb-accordion__item\" data-transition=\"slide\">\n\n<button class=\"gb-button gb-button-ec42df2b gb-accordion__toggle\" id=\"gb-accordion-toggle-ec42df2b\"><span class=\"gb-button-text\"><strong>Requirements<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"gb-icon\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" width=\"1em\" height=\"1em\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" class=\"gb-accordion__icon\"><path d=\"M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" width=\"1em\" height=\"1em\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" class=\"gb-accordion__icon-open\"><path d=\"M240.971 130.524l194.343 194.343c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941l-22.667 22.667c-9.357 9.357-24.522 9.375-33.901.04L224 227.495 69.255 381.516c-9.379 9.335-24.544 9.317-33.901-.04l-22.667-22.667c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941L207.03 130.525c9.372-9.373 24.568-9.373 33.941-.001z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/button>\n\n\n<div id=\"gb-accordion-content-613722f0\" class=\"gb-accordion__content\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-613722f0\">\n<div class=\"gb-grid-wrapper gb-grid-wrapper-8b88e8ca\">\n<div class=\"gb-grid-column gb-grid-column-13128c62\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-13128c62\">\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To participate in an accreditation procedure, you must be enrolled as a student or have graduated within the past 12 months.
