The state regulates higher education in Denmark, and all public institutions are subject to continuous approval and evaluation processes. The regulations define the national standards for Danish higher education to ensure that all students obtain an education of the highest quality.

A nationally established – fully independent – accreditation agency assures the quality and relevance of higher education programmes. The institutions have a high degree of autonomy, but they must follow the national regulations, e.g. teacher qualifications, degree structures and examinations, including a system of external examiners.

UCL University College abides by the Bologna process and its goals; the Diploma Supplement and the ECTS are integrated into all academic departments. The university college holds an extended Erasmus University Charter.
