07.4 Does a German higher education institution have to carry out further national accreditation procedures according to the European Approach despite the Recognition of an accreditation decision according to § 33 MRVO by the Accreditation Council?

It should be noted that the European Approach is not a national law in itself. It only applies insofar as it is adopted in the national legal systems. Therefore, higher education institutions should check separately whether the European Approach for Quality Assurance of Joint Programmes is applicable nationally for all consortium members. In countries where this is not the case, an additional accreditation procedure may have to be carried out in accordance with national regulations. See here for the national implementation of the European Approach.
