After a preliminary survey by the HCERES expert group lastOctober, it was decided that all four institutions are eligible to conduct theaccreditation.

In January, the four universities completed and submitted theirself-assessment reports as required by the HCERES. By the end of February,HCERES set up two expert delegations, each consisting of seven members, allsenior experts in higher education management and training, to assess thereports.

The process of accreditation involved several steps aimed atexamining and evaluating practical activities, including quality assurance offacilities, teaching staff, training, research activities, managementinnovation, method innovation, students’ opinion polls, staff, managers, andalso the direction of development of the institution in the future.
