Summary
  • Australian universities are all self-accrediting. In the absence of a system of external examiners or an independent quality assurance authority, how can anyone know how good the degrees are? New Zealand, Britain and the USA have agencies of different kinds which examine the quality assurance processes of their universities and the quality of students' work. Professional bodies in such fields as medicine and engineering assess the curriculum and standards in their fields and accredit professional schools and faculties. In the face of increasing international competition, can Australia continue with its present system unchanged? This study proposes a Modern Australian Model which builds on the self-examination processes now common in Australian universities. It proposes a national agency which shall be minimally intrusive within universities but which is still able to proclaim to the world that Australian degrees are of a good standard, carefully scrutinised. The agency will also be able to represent Australia in discussions which are beginning to take place on international accreditation.
