ENQA - European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education

The ECCE submitted an application for membership of this agency in December 2007. ENQA was established in 2000 to promote co-operation among the quality assurance agencies responsible for higher education in Europe, and to share good practice. It was great news to hear that our application was approved on the first attempt, and as a result, ECCE is a Candidate Member of ENQA. The ECCE is currently working towards full Membership of ENQA. Being part of a large organisation will do much to facilitate the development of the ECCE and ensure that our procedures and processes are not only current and up to date, but in line with those operating at the highest level of quality assurance in higher education in Europe.

At the conclusion of the evaluation visit by a team of four practising and teaching chiropractors the Commission on Accreditation of the ECCE praised the leadership of the College together with the commitment, support and direction given by the Board of Governors. CoA also praised the curriculum which successfully enthuses both staff and students. CoA were impressed by the links between teaching and research, the programme of renewal including upgraded lecture theatres and laboratories, and the development of the new clinic which will further enhance teaching and research facilities in the college. CoA drew attention to the opportunities provided by public funding and the links to the University of Bournemouth. The college was congratulated for its support for staff development at all levels throughout the college, the commitment, loyalty and enthusiasm of the administrative, technical and support staff and its sound long-term financial planning
