Abstract

The regulation of Portuguese Higher Education is now in a period of evolution and undergoing profound changes. The quality assurance system implemented was criticised from the beginning, raising many doubts, and was often associated with some weaknesses. The pressure put on the Portuguese government to meet quality assurance standards in the scope of European Higher Education is enormous and several reforms and policy developments show that Portugal's Higher Education system is on the move. This paper compares the regulatory models in other European countries and analyses the new Portuguese model.A regulação do ensino superior em Portugal está a atravessar um periodo de crescimento de profundas alterações. O sistema de garantia de qualidade implementado anteriormente foi criticado desde o seu começo, levantando muitas dúvidas e frequentemente associado a várias fraquezas. A pressão colocada no governo Português para atingir padrões de garantia de qualidade em conformidade com os padrões Europeus é enorme e várias reformas e politicas mostram que o sistema do ensino superior em Portugal está em movimento. Este artigo compara vários modelos de regulação de outros países Europeus e analisa o modelo Português.
