Quality???? • Excellence (Plato) • Quality of the product • Quality of the process towards product • Quality from the perspective of the client • Dimension of cost (effective) • Total Quality mamagement TEMPUS: Enhancement of Quality Assurance System Through Professional Development of Academic Leaders, QAPD, No. 516996
Curriculum • If it is for students, probably… the client should be considered in any case?
