The UAS Studies Act applies to the Universities of Applied Sciences sector. According to these laws, the FH Council is the authority responsible for the accreditation – approval - of FH-degree programmes. In particular, it issues guidelines for the accreditation (approval) of FH-degree programmes and approves - in the best case - after close scrutiny, an FH-degree programme with an official notification. This guarantees the quality of the educational provision vis-á-vis the students, the financial backers, the economy and society.
