SDU reaccredited for further 5 years until 2013 | |
| The ECCE is please to announce that the Institute for Clinical Biomechanics at Syddansk Universitet Odense, Denmark has been reaccredited for a period of five years until 2013. In their report the evaluation team praised the leadership provided by the Dean, and the Director of Study who have raised the profile of Chiropractic within the Institute and the University, and provided a vision for the future of chiropractic in Denmark. The research ethos which underpins the educational model of the Institute and results in high quality research informing the learning experience and academic aspirations of the students was also most impressive. One of the characteristics of the programme is the interdisciplinary links with other medical sciences which foster the integration of chiropractic within a wider health care community. The evaluation team were impressed by the supportive role provided by student mentors/counsellors in the early years of study together with the support provided by student observers on the Study Board. The Director of Studies had also introduced themed intra-curricular activities which had strengthened chiropractic identity within the Clinical Biomechanics programme. | |

ENQA - European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education | |
| The ECCE submitted an application for membership of this agency in December 2007. ENQA was established in 2000 to promote co-operation among the quality assurance agencies responsible for higher education in Europe, and to share good practice. It was great news to hear that our application was approved on the first attempt, and as a result, ECCE is a Candidate Member of ENQA. The ECCE is currently working towards full Membership of ENQA. Being part of a large organisation will do much to facilitate the development of the ECCE and ensure that our procedures and processes are not only current and up to date, but in line with those operating at the highest level of quality assurance in higher education in Europe. | |
