Quality assurance and accreditation is an essential aspect for the harmonization of BME curricula in Europe. The definition of common criteria per curricula definition and credit transfer might not be effective is the actual implementation and outcome by means of an effective Quality Assessment system. The purpose of the present contribution is to present a review of existing Quality Assessment systems existing in European and partner countries for BME programs, aiming to identify a possible common basis for the definition of a template guidance document and eventual constraints resulting from local legislation that might prevent harmonization.
