There are two tiers of QAA International Membership:
Full International Membership offers access to a comprehensive range of services and expertise including resources, guidance, staff training, networking opportunities, briefings and entitlement to display the QAA International Membership Badge. Full Membership is available only to those institutions who have achieved International Quality Review (IQR) accreditation from QAA.
International Associate Membership delivers a valuable but less extensive range of resources, guidance, staff training and networking opportunities for higher education institutions who don’t yet have IQR accreditation but are recognised by their local quality agency. International Associate Members are not eligible to use the QAA International Membership Badge.
The main purpose of TSUL's decision to join QAA Membership is to improve the quality of education and the quality of personnel training, while also modernising the educational process and its administration based on international standards. The helpful workshops, briefings, and access to events that international membership offers will contribute to improving educational quality and provide guidance on how to meet ESG standards.
