All GBS Master programs are delivered on behalf of Goethe University Frankfurt and, by Hessian law, are required to be accredited to ensure high-quality program delivery and teaching. Since 2016, accreditation at Goethe University has been carried out as part of establishing or continuing degree programs as internal (re-) accreditation and under the supervision of the Office of Teaching and Quality Assurance (LuQ).
The internal (re-) accreditations are closely linked to the evaluation procedures so that the degree programs offered can improve continuously through reflection and discussion. The results of the program evaluation and key figures are presented to external experts during the internal (re-) accreditation, and the recommendations of the internal re-accreditation commission are addressed in the subsequent program evaluation in a dialog with students and faculty representatives.
These procedures ensure that the structures and processes of GBS master programs comply with relevant German and international quality standards, thereby enabling the achievement of the defined program learning goals.
GBS degree programs are designed and developed in a continuous process of reflection and discussion together with Goethe University’s internal offices and external expertise. This university-wide, system-accredited quality assurance system, with an internal accreditation commission acting as the central deciding entity, ensures that GBS programs fulfill all requirements to meet the highest standards and offer high-quality teaching to its students!
