The Adaptation of International Education Valuation Methods in Hungary

Abstract

`Traditional´ principles and methods of quality management systems without any alteration cannot be adopted when evaluating the quality of education. In the article we describe the evaluation systems used in western countries, then after a short review of the domestic legal regulations we show how the adaptation of foreign quality evaluation systems succeeded in Hungary. In the last part of the article we present a particular example of a course level quality evaluation system in connection with the MBA post-graduate course at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics, highlighting the possible problems and the options for improvement.
