Establishing a Quality Management System in the Function of Quality Assurance in Higher Education

However, regardless of adopted legislation and standards for quality assurance in higher education, quality is still difficult to establish in the daily activities of higher education institutions. The research presented in this paper aims to indicate the importance of implementing quality management systems as an effective tool for providing quality in higher education.
