Preface
This template is made available to programmes and institutions intending to have the
quality of their internationalisation assessed. This template aims to facilitate the
presentation of the outcomes of the
programme’s or institution’s self-evaluation
procedure and make this information easily
accessible for the experts in the assessment
panel.
The Standards and Guidelines for Quality
Assurance in the European Higher Education Area
(ESG) underline the importance of internal
quality assurance and the fact that all external
quality assurance procedures should be based on a programme’s or institution’s self-
evaluation. Your self-evaluation report is therefore an indispensable element of any
external quality assurance procedure.
The self-evaluation should be able to help the programme or institution establish its
strengths and weaknesses. A good self-evaluation report that gives insight into a
programme’s or institution’s critical reflection on its quality and development, gives the
assessment panel the best opportunity to provide valuable feedback and
recommendations which go beyond the normal assessment of your quality.
The self-evaluation report should follow the outline included in section 2. Assessment
criteria for programmes and section 3. Assessment criteria for institutions. The outline can,
where and if necessary, be amended but only if this improves the readability of the overall
self-evaluation report.
For each of the standards, a presentation is expected of how your programme or
institution meets this standard. If your self-evaluation indicates not yet fully meeting this
standard, specify how your programme or institution intends to meet it in the short term.
A good self-evaluation report gives
the assessment panel the best
opportunity to provide valuable
feedback and recommendations
which go beyond the normal
assessment of your quality.

The most important documents referred to in the self-evaluation report should be included
as annexes to the self-evaluation report.
A self-evaluation report should not exceed 25 pages, excluding references and annexes.
We strongly encourage the use of existing texts and documents and to not produce too
much new information. Preparing a self-evaluation report and undergoing a one-day site
visit does require some work though. From experiences with these types of assessments in
The Netherlands and Flanders, the workload can vary between 120 hours (for well-
prepared applicants with a smooth functioning internal quality assurance agencies) and up
to 800 hours (in one case).
This preface and all the guidelines below can be deleted when using the self-evaluation
report.

Glossary
Guideline: You should start your self-evaluation report with a glossary. This makes reading the rest of the document easier and can be used as a reference for any abbreviations met during the reading of the report. Use a tab to separate the abbreviation and the full text.

2. Assessment criteria for programmes
This chapter is for programmes (2), the next chapter is for institutions (3). That part
which is not applicable may be deleted!
Guideline: Address how your programme meets each of the criteria and do this clear and concise under each of the boxed texts that include the criterion. Guideline: Please keep the boxed criteria in the self-evaluation report since it improves its reading for the experts in the assessment panel. Guideline: The standard and criteria included in the framework are assessed in the context of the programme’s vision on internationalisation. The framework does not prescribe or endorse any particular internationalisation approaches or activities. The programme’s vision is therefore considered the appropriate starting point for assessing a programme’s internationalisation. We consequently expect that this vision has an effect on the intended learning outcomes aimed for by the programme, on the student group composition and on the students’ international experience. The intended international and intercultural learning outcomes provide the context for the assessment of the bulk of the remaining criteria.
Standard 1: Vision on internationalization
Guideline: The ambition level of the programme is considered the starting point of its internationalisation activities. This ambition level is referred to in the framework as the programme’s vision on internationalisation. This vision can be demonstrated very explicitly (e.g. internationalisation policy statement) or implicitly (e.g. international (joint) programme agreement). This vision, whether explicit or implicit, needs to make clear what the programme wants to achieve with its internationalisation and how internationalisation contributes to the overall quality of the programme. Usually the internationalisation vision of the programme will be connected to an internationalisation policy at institutional or faculty level. It is important for the sustainability and effectiveness that the vision on internationalisation at the programme level is supported by stakeholders, such as staff, management, and the relevant professional field. The vision on internationalisation or the programme’s internationalisation strategy should include verifiable objectives. These objectives facilitate and ensure the proper implementation and evaluation of the programme’s vision on internationalisation. Programmes may include the institutions (national and/or abroad) that are referred to in order to benchmark, to learn from good practices, or to form partnerships (e.g. for students or staff exchanges, etc.).
13
The vision on internationalisation should be evaluated periodically. The results of this evaluation should lead to improvement in the implementation or to the revision of the vision itself. Part of the evaluation of the internationalisation vision is also the evaluation of the quality of existing partnerships with foreign institutions and the selection processes for new partner institutions.
Criterion 1a: Shared vision
The programme has a vision on internationalisation. This vision is supported by stakeholders within and outside the programme.
Here, address how your programme meets this criterion.

Standard 2: Learning outcomes
Guideline: Each programme is responsible for clarifying its aims and objectives. In European higher education, learning outcomes are considered the most transparent way to present a programme’s aims and objectives. In line with the Framework of Qualifications for the European Higher Education Area, a programme’s intended learning outcomes make clear what a student is expected to be able to know, understand and demonstrate after having successfully completed the curriculum. Programmes that apply for the Certificate for Quality in Internationalisation should have their vision on internationalisation reflected in the intended international and intercultural learning outcomes of the programme. Intended international and intercultural learning outcomes need to be clear and explicit. They preferably involve subject-related aspects, social/communicative skills and attitude-related features. International learning outcomes can refer to generic and subject-related aspects (e.g. language) relevant for interaction with people from different countries. Intercultural learning outcomes focus on the social and behavioural skills relevant for interaction with people from different cultures. The self-evaluation report here has to contain a list of all intended (international and intercultural) learning outcomes. Assessments can transparently demonstrate whether students achieve the learning outcomes a programme aims for. All types of assessments can be taken into account, such as interim assessments, final examinations, final projects, research assignments, theses and performance evaluations. These assessments should however not only take into account the overall learning outcomes of the programme. They should also be suitable to assess achievement of the international and intercultural learning outcomes. Particular attention has to be paid to the inclusion of international and intercultural competencies into standard assessment forms and/or templates. If the student assessments are suitable to assess the international and intercultural learning outcomes, these assessment can transparently demonstrate whether the graduates of the programme achieve the international and intercultural learning outcomes the programme is aiming for. Programmes can use additional methods to demonstrate achievement of these learning outcomes, such as alumni and labour market appraisal of what the programme’s graduates know, understand and demonstrate.
Criterion 2a: Intended learning outcomes
The intended international and intercultural learning outcomes defined by the programme are a clear reflection of its vision on internationalisation.
Here, address how your programme meets this criterion.

Evidence & Documents
Here, refer where relevant to the documents that provide evidence.
Criterion 2b: Student assessment

Evidence & Documents
Here, refer where relevant to the documents that provide evidence.
Criterion 2c: Graduate achievement
The programme can demonstrate that the intended international and intercultural learning outcomes are achieved by its graduates.
Here, address how your programme meets this criterion.
Evidence & Documents
Here, refer where relevant to the documents that provide evidence.
Standard 3: Teaching and Learning
Guideline: The curriculum is here understood to be the coherent and structured set of educational content (courses, modules, etc.) covered by a programme. This educational content should provide students with the necessary elements to achieve the intended international and intercultural learning outcomes. If a Bachelor of Nursing intends its graduates to be able to teach, supervise and assess junior colleagues in professional practice , the curriculum should cover (and assess) this type of teaching, supervising and assessing. The same type of correspondence should also be available between the intended international and intercultural learning outcomes and both the teaching methods and the learning environment. If a Master of Arts in History intends its graduates to be able to participate in group work productively and taking the lead on occasion, presiding over debates and

discussions in an international or multicultural group, this should have repercussions on the teaching methods. In this case the teaching methods need to enable class participation and discussion, including work in smaller and mixed groups, where students are coached as chairs of groups or debate presidents. If a Doctorate in High Energy Physics intends its graduates to be able to work in large international groups appreciating different national and cultural traditions and ways of working, this should have repercussions on the learning environment. Here, the setting in which the learning takes place needs to accommodate working in large international groups. Additionally, the work in these large groups needs to be versatile, including different cultural traditions. Curriculum, teaching methods and learning environment constitute a coherent teaching-learning setting in which the students should be able to achieve the intended international and intercultural learning outcomes.2

Criterion 3c: Learning environment
The learning environment is suitable for achieving the intended international and intercultural learning outcomes.

Evidence & Documents
Here, refer where relevant to the documents that provide evidence.
Standard 4: Staff
Guideline: The composition of the staff contributes in an important way to the overall quality of a programme. Quantity of staff refers to the amount of staff deployed in the programme. Quality of staff refers to their qualifications in a broad sense. It does not only refer to their subject-/discipline-specific knowledge, but also refers to their skills and experience. These may be demonstrated through their curriculum vitae or portfolio. Differences in the composition of the staff can enable differentiation between the programmes in the same subject. The international (and intercultural) experiences and competences of the deployed teaching staff essentially determine whether a programme will be able to enable all its students to achieve the programme’s international and intercultural learning outcomes. Obviously, staff members in the beginning of their teaching career can’t be expected to already have all the appropriate international experiences and/or intercultural competences. In the same way, staff members that did acquire international experiences, intercultural competences and/or additional language skills should be allowed and enabled to update these. In both cases the institution and/or the programme need to make it possible that staff members gain and strengthen their international experiences, intercultural competences and/or language skills. These services can be offered in various forms and can, in some cases, be mandatory. The services are intended to actively provide support to staff in order to better meet the programme’s international and intercultural activities and/or aspirations. Preferably they are an integral part of the programme’s vision on internationalisation.
Criterion 4a: Staff composition
The composition of the staff (in quality and quantity) facilitates the achievement of the intended international and intercultural learning outcomes.

Standard 5: Students
Guideline: The composition of the student group can shape the international and intercultural experiences individual students gain. Both international student bodies with students from all continents and national student bodies with students from the region can provide opportunities for international and intercultural teaching and learning. A programme’s vision on internationalisation however needs to determine the level to which this is the case. The international experiences gained by the large international student body can for example originate from following an international curriculum offered in an international classroom with internationally oriented staff. The national student body on the other hand can for example gain their experiences
19
through international exchange initiatives such as internships, international projects and international semesters abroad. But in both cases the composition of the student group needs to correspond with the programme’s internationalisation vision. Services provided to students can be both curricular and extra-curricular. The link between these services of course depends on the composition of the student group. All students (national and international) should be able to make use of a broad range of integrated services before, during and after their studies. In the case of international students, programmes preferable demonstrate how they meet the demand of their student body and the level of intercultural awareness when providing services.

3. Assessment criteria for institutions
This chapter is for institutions (3), the previous chapter is for programmes (2). That
part which is not applicable may be deleted!
Guideline: Address how your institution meets each of the criteria and do this clear and concise under each of the boxed texts that include the criterion. Guideline: Please keep the boxed criteria in the self-evaluation report since it improves its reading for the experts in the assessment panel. Guideline: The standard and criteria included in the framework are assessed in the context of the institution’s vision on internationalisation. The framework does not prescribe or endorse any particular internationalisation approaches or activities. The institution’s vision is therefore considered the appropriate starting point for assessing an institution’s internationalisation. We consequently expect that this vision has an effect on the institution’s policies. These realisation of policies related to internationalisation can of course be demonstrated. Internationalisation is additionally an elemental part of the institutional quality assurance system. Finally, the organisation and decision-making structure enables the coherent implementation of all elements related to institutional internationalisation.
Standard 1: Vision
Guideline: The ambition level of the institution is considered the starting point of its internationalisation activities. This ambition level is referred to in the framework as the programme’s vision on internationalisation. This vision needs to make clear what the institution wants to achieve with its internationalisation and how internationalisation contributes to the overall quality of the programme. It is important for the sustainability and effectiveness that the vision on internationalisation is supported by stakeholders, inside and outside the institution. The institution’s vision further encourages internationalisation of its education institution-wide and is linked to the quality of the institution’s education.
Criterion 1a: Ambition
The programme has a vision on internationalisation that matches the institution’s ambition regarding its internationalisation.

Evidence & Documents
Here, refer where relevant to the documents that provide evidence.
Standard 2: Policy
Guideline: The institution’s vision on internationalisation is not supposed to be an
empty ambition but actual work in progress. An institution should therefore have
policies in place that make the achievement of its vision on internationalisation
realistic. The institution's (internationalisation) policy includes at least the following
areas: “international and intercultural learning outcomes”, ”teaching and learning”,
”staff” and “students”; but is not necessarily limited to these elements. These policies
23
should include links to or should be the result of the institution’s vision. Adequate
policy requires both specific objectives which are in line with the vision and sufficient
resources for its implementation. International and intercultural learning outcomes are
important because they accurately demonstrate the impact of internationalisation on
the quality of the education provided and consequently the relevance of
internationalisation for students, graduates and the labour market. To gather
institution-wide support for the institution’s (internationalisation) policy an institution
develops specific institution-wide objectives and allocates adequate resources.

Here, address how your programme meets this criterion.
Evidence & Documents
Here, refer where relevant to the documents that provide evidence.

Standard 3: Realisations
Guideline: Policy achievement is essential when assessing the adequacy of an institution’s realisations in the field of internationalisation. Here the focus is on management information, scope and demonstration of achievement. Management information provides the information needed to manage internationalisation activities effectively. The information therefore covers the relevant areas included in the institution’s (internationalisation) policy. Management information can be used to demonstrate the extent to which its (internationalisation) policy is realised.
Criterion 3a: Information
The institution has management information with regard to the implementation of the areas included in its (internationalisation) policy and the impact its policy has on the quality of the programmes offered.
Here, address how your programme meets this criterion.

Standard 4: Improvement strategy
Guideline: The Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the European Higher
Education Area state that institutions should commit themselves explicitly to the
development of a culture which recognises the importance of quality, and quality
assurance, in their work. To achieve this, institutions should develop and implement a
strategy for the continuous enhancement of quality. This also refers to an institution’s
internationalisation. Here, an institution’s internal and external (both national and
international) stakeholders play an active role. Additionally, internationalisation also
impacts the internal quality assurance system. An institution can utilise its
internationalisation results and networks for quality assurance. Most common
approaches are international benchmarking, peer learning and networking. These
types of improvement strategies are evidently not necessarily limited to
internationalisation activities.
Criterion 4a: Quality assurance

Guideline: The organisation and decision-making structure enables the coherent
implementation of all elements related to institutional internationalisation: vision
(standard 1), policy (standard 2), realisations (standard 3) and improvement strategy
(standard 4). The organisation and decision-making structure includes clearly defined
tasks, authorities and responsibilities. In this structure, internal stakeholders are
included and external stakeholders are consulted.
