POLIS University has become one of the higher education institutions in Albania achieved global accreditation through the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA), the UK’s independent quality body and a global leader in quality assurance for higher education. POLIS University has obtained global accreditation after successfully completed QAA`s International Quality Review (IQR)

International Quality Review (IQR) offers institutions outside the UK the opportunity to have a review by the UK’s Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA). The review benchmarks institutions’ quality assurance processes against international quality assurance standards set out in Part 1 of the Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the European Higher Education Area (ESG)

The review took place from 2 to 4 May 2023 and was conducted virtually by a team of three reviewers by QAA. The review team confirmed that the University meets all 10 of the internal quality assurance standards in the ESG.

The QAA review team identified the following features of good practice at POLIS University:

• the formal approach taken by the institution to actively support non-discriminatory practices, understanding that the emphasis the University places is fairly unique in the cultural context it embodies (ESG Standard 1.1)
• the involvement of students in programme design (ESG Standard 1.2)
• the approach taken by the University to nurture student progression through the maintenance of a culture of student and teacher partnership (ESG Standard 1.3)
• the participatory approach that aligns research objectives and institutional objectives (ESG Standard 1.5)
• the extensive range of learning resources that support learning, in particular the special IT facilities to enhance the learning opportunities for students with disabilities (ESG Standard 1.6)
• the comprehensive range of specialist facilities on offer which enhance the professional learning opportunities for students (ESG Standard 1.6).

The QAA review team also has included in to the report some recommendations for improvement/enhancement. The recommendations are of a desirable rather than essential nature and are proposed to enable the University to build on existing practice which is operating satisfactorily but which could be improved or enhanced.

QAA’s IQR accreditation applies for five years, subject to a satisfactory mid-cycle review.
