Governance Structure

Three bodies will govern the UNIQUe process:

  • Supervisory body: which decides the eligibility of the candidate university
  • Advisory body: which does not have an executive role in any of decision making processes but provides advice for the continuous improvement process of UNIQUe label itself
  • Awarding body: an independent body which receives the report from the peer reviewers/auditor group and makes decisions regarding the awarding of the UNIQUe accreditation label (e.g. if the University should be awarded the label or not).

In this way there will be a clear and effective separation of power between the body which governs eligibility and the one which awards the accreditation. The people who will be members of the awarding body should be well known and recognised experts within the field.

The UNIQUe process is open to external evaluation as provided by ENQA.
