Institutional accreditation focuses up on the institution's ability to provide a solid structure or foundation for their public health academic, research and service output. Institutional accreditation was introduced in September 2014.
The term 'Institution' is used generically and refers to the academic units which are either stand-alone or a constituent part of a larger university or institutional structure. The titles typically used include school, department, faculty, institute, centre or college.
The steps toward institutional accreditation include:
- validation of all of the public health master programmes,
- a self-study conducted,
- a 3 day site visit of reviewers.
The period covered by institutional accreditation is 6 years.
