In 2026, MusiQuE has already undertaken a range of activities, reflecting its continued engagement in quality enhancement in music education across diverse international contexts.

Two reviews have been conducted so far this year. In January, MusiQuE carried out a Programme Accreditation Review of the Master of Arts in Sound of Arts and Creative Music Technology at Musikhochschule Lübeck (Germany). At the beginning of March, MusiQuE concluded an online visit for a Programme Accreditation review at the Faculty of Music and Musicology of Université Antonine (Lebanon), originally planned as an in-person site visit, the visit had to be adapted to an online format due to the rapid escalation of the conflict in the region.

MusiQuE Peer Reviewers also participated in three site visits in Portugal at Universidade do Minho in Braga, Instituto Politécnico de Castelo Branco, and Universidade de Évora, supporting the national agency A3ES.

Several Critical Friend visits have taken place, including at Malmö Academy of Music (focusing on the area of quality assurance, in February) and at the Royal Conservatoire The Hague (Composition department in March and Classical Music department in February). In addition, consultative visits were carried out at Anton Bruckner Private University (Linz, Austria), where two experts visited the Theory and History department in March.

MusiQuE has also finalised the review of the College of Music at Mahidol University, granting accreditation to all programmes (BM, MA, MM, DM, and PhD). All review reports are available on the MusiQuE website.

MusiQuE is also currently coordinating and preparing several accreditation and quality enhancement procedures scheduled to take place this year in Poland, Sweden, and Switzerland.

In parallel, MusiQuE continues its quality enhancement activities, including upcoming Critical Friend visits at Yong Siew Toh Conservatory (Singapore). Ongoing work also includes the external evaluation of the IN.TUNE Alliance, Orpheus Institute (Belgium) and the European Music Council (EMC), and the review of micro-credentials at the Cello Academy Zutphen (Netherlands).

Further details on all these procedures are available on the MusiQuE website.
