03.3 Who is responsible for the entries in the database?

In the new system, the institution responsible for entries in the database of accredited study programmes is always the institution that makes the decision on the accreditation of a study programme or quality management system (even for higher education institutions that are system-accredited under the old law): The Accreditation Council in the case of programme and system accreditation, the system-accredited higher education institution for its own study programmes (see § 18 para. 4 sentence 2 of the MRVO).

The Head Office of the Accreditation Council will continue to be responsible for checking and releasing individual database entries. All information entered in the database will be checked for technical accuracy and then released to the public.

Note on the change: This question was initially part of FAQ 3.1.
