Highlight Accreditation process of the master programmes: excellent scores Following the Bologna reforms, the Ministries of Education of Flanders and the Netherlands introduced a joint accreditation system for all master degrees. The procedure consists of three consecutive steps, spread over a period of approximately one year: (1) a thorough and written self-assessment according to an elaborate template; (2) a site visit and evaluation by a panel of experts and stakeholders, organised by the Flemish Interuniversity Council (VLIR); (3) a final evaluation and accreditation by the Dutch-Flemish Accreditation Organisation (Nederlands-Vlaamse Accreditatie Organisatie, http://nvao.net). The three master programmes of the ITM are due for accreditation in 2008. The self-assessment, coordinated by task forces at course and institutional level, was a very intensive but equally fruitful exercise, resulting in a thorough review, further alignments and new reforms in all three courses. The reports were submitted on January 31 st of 2007, and the site visit took place on 29-31 May. English was used for all reports and proceedings, allowing to invite a truly international committee. The committee chairperson, professor Christina Vandenbroucke – Grauls, presented the final assessment report to the VLIR representative on 30 November. 26 | EDUCATION All three master programmes passed the assessment with flying colours. The evaluation template, consisting of 6 subjects divided in 20 “facets”, was positive across the board. MPH-HSMP, MPD-DC and MSTAH respectively scored “excellent” or “good” for 18, 19 and 18 facets, a truly exceptional result (See table on next page). The committee highly valued the coherence between targeted professional profile, learning objectives and programme as well as the didactic approach and coaching of participants. It made suggestions for further improvement of the organisation and output of the programmes. The VLIR approved the report and the ITM officially applied for re-accreditation to the NVAO on November 30 th . Feedback to the ITM at the end of the evaluation visit by professor Vandenbroucke.
