International Quality Review (IQR) has been specially developed to provide institutions outside the UK with an independent peer review leading to accreditation by QAA.

Compliance with the ESG
The Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the European Higher Education Area (ESG) provide the framework for internal and external quality assurance in the European Higher Education Area. QAA’s review methods are compliant with these standards, as are the reports we publish. More information is available on our website.
What does QAA Accreditation mean?
A successful IQR means that you are officially accredited by QAA. You will be able to use the IQR Accreditation Badge on your website and marketing materials, which shows that you are accredited by us against internationally recognised standards.
Refer to the IQR Accreditation Badge guidelines for details about its use.
Our Review enabled us to assure students and parents that all our programmes meet European standards. We are delighted to display the logo, which enhances our Institute’s reputation, competitiveness and global image.
