grants accreditation to the study prog

ramme for an indefinite

period, or rejects the application for

accreditation,

determines (partial) adequacy of deli

very of the study programme,

or revokes its accreditation,

provides recommendations to the hig

her education institution for

the improvement of self-evaluation, d

elivery, update or the overall

quality of the study programme,

grants accreditation to the change of

the higher education

institution, or rejects the application

for accreditation,

decides on accreditations of internati

onal joint study programmes,

adopts opinions about compliance wi

th quality standards of higher

vocational colleges.
