Accreditation
Every five years all Dutch and Flemish accredited programmes are inspected by the Dutch Flemish Accreditation Organisation (NVAO). The NVAO is a public institution founded by a treaty between the Netherlands and Flanders. The institution guarantees the quality of higher education.
In 2004 the NVAO inspected the Dutch Public Administration programmes. This inspection concluded in a positive judgment on the Public Administration programmes (pdf) offered by Leiden.
