Accreditation with EQAS Food aims to review the rationale and effectiveness of a qualification process within a degree program in the field of food science and technology. A central element is the effective achievement of the educational objectives set by the institution applying for the EQAS food quality label.
The quality of degree programs in food science and technology, according to the ISEKI Food Association (IFA), is certified from a functioning qualification process, the interaction of its elements and the level of achievement of objectives, which means the achievement of intended learning outcomes by a program’s graduate.
The basis for accreditation with EQAS Food are the EQAS Food Award Procedures, Criteria and Standards together with the European Guidelines (ENQA European Standards and Guidelines).
