  2. Towards an Accredited BME Program Tycho C. Boersma, Jan A. van Alsté University of Twente, Enschede, The Netherlands

  3. Biomedical Engineering at the UT • Established in 2001 • 3 year BSc + 2 year MSc • First BSc graduates in 2004 • First MSc graduates expected in 2006

  4. Accreditation in the Netherlands (1/3) • NVAO* accredits study programs: yes or no • Accreditation is based on a report of a Quality Assurance Agency • QANU** is the QAA for Dutch universities * NVAO: Dutch-Flemish accrediting organisation** QANU: Quality Assurance Netherlands Universities

  5. Accreditation in the Netherlands (2/3) • QANU’s judgement is based on: • BME’s self study report • a site visit • Framework of the BME self study report: • 6 subjects • 21 aspects • 30 criteria
