Specific elements for QA in postgraduate studies The quality of supervision/ tutoring/ assesment Living, studying and working conditions Accessibility of Ma&PhD prgrammes (relating to gender, minorities, various socio-economic backgrounds etc.) Workload and learning & research outcomes Other success elements: full involvement of students as equal partners and structured approaches.

Links with other policy areas or BP tools Recognition: ECTS Diploma supplement -> Employability RPL Mobility

Conclusions Merging education and research requires the redefinition of QA exercises The journey has just begun…
