“The focus of the ESG is on quality assurance processes related to teaching and learning in higher education, including the learning environment and relevant links to research.
The ESG apply to all higher education offered in the EHEA regardless of the mode of study or place of delivery. While some of the standards refer to programmes of study that lead to a formal qualification, the ESG are also applicable to higher education provision in its broadest sense and to transnational, cross-border provision.”
