Accreditation

The MIRT programme at Fontys University of Applied Sciences is accredited every six years by the Dutch-Flemish Accreditation Organisation (NVAO). The NVAO is a quality assurance organisation that assures the quality of higher education in the Netherlands and Flanders in an expert and independent manner and promotes a culture of quality within higher education institutions in the Netherlands and Flanders. It accredits existing and new programmes and assesses the quality assurance of higher education institutions.

This makes NVAO the guardian of the quality of higher education. NVAO's decisions lead to recognition of diplomas and degrees and, where applicable, to funding of programmes. NVAO bases its assessment on advice from recognised experts.

NVAO wants to contribute to the quality of higher education in Flanders and the Netherlands being recognised as internationally up to standard, socially relevant and enjoying the trust of students, employers and society. Within the mission assigned to NVAO in the accreditation treaty between the Netherlands and Flanders, it wants to safeguard the quality of higher education, stimulate improvements and promote a culture of quality.

Fontys University of Applied Sciences' MIRT programme was last accredited on 25 May 2023.

The audit panel's conclusion was the following:

The audit panel concludes that the programme lives up to its ambitions and does so partly thanks to a well-designed programme, a stimulating educational environment and expert and committed lecturers. The audit panel therefore advises the NVAO to maintain the programme's accreditation.

The Dutch Ministry of Education and Science has included the MIRT programme in the Central Register of Higher Education Study Programmes (CROHO). The details are shown in the table.
