It is costly, thesis evaluation, air tickets, viva/interview fee, 20 years ago it was nearly 1000 US dollar

Thank you for your contribution @Mushtaq. Where can I find an official document regarding this price? I suppose you refer to one person.

Hi

1. It depends on the type of external evaluation.

2.Also, If the external evaluation is local or international.

3. The costs of national external evaluations is less than the costs of international.

4.Rankings is much lower than accreditations.

Hi Mr. @Z.A.Al-Hemyari,

When it comes to Europe, there is a standard procedure regarding the external evaluation:

- international professors visit your university (twice) and analyse the situation

- external evaluation cannot be done by a local authority, since we do not have the required knowledge and reputation

- international evaluation done by EU experts gives your institution more credibility and opportunities for accessing foreign research funds

Therefore, my question is:

- who can do the internal evaluation in your case? I need something that holds on European or American level

Thanks,

Emma
