July 2013
AQU Catalunya participated in the review of Bachelor degree programmes in Social Work at the Royal University of Phnom Penh and Economics programmes (specialisations in management and development) at the Royal University in Law and Economics in Phnom Penh, both of which are state-run universities in Cambodia.
The reviews were carried out within the framework of the ASEAN-QA project, in which organisations from Europe and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations cooperate in developing quality assurance systems in the countries that form part of the association.
AQU Catalunya, through ENQA, was the recognised European agency involved in the pilot evaluations carried out in Cambodia, which involved reviewers from Indonesia and Malaysia and a representative from the Agency. Observers included representatives from the Ministry of Education, the quality assurance agency and other Cambodian universities.
