摘要/Abstract

澳大利亚高等教育质量管理与标准署是作为一个中立、独立、非盈利的高等教育国家级管理机构对澳大利亚的高等教育质量进行保障。风险评估作为澳大利亚高等教育质量管理与标准署保障高等教育质量的基础，具有一系列特点，包括评估数据来源广泛；评估过程保持与高等教育机构对话；内容全面且具有导向性；评估方法系统且客观；风险控制措施紧扣评估结果；评估信息管理注重隐私性和机密性。对我国的高等教育质量保障具有重要借鉴意义。

TEQSA had evolved from the Australian Universities Quality Agency (AUQA) and was founded in 2011, which is a mature higher education quality assurance agency with its own objectives, functions, values, principles as well as specific higher education quality assurance approaches. The main three approaches include quality audit, course accreditation and quality assessment.
