The Association Européenne des Conservatoires, Académies de Musique et Musikhochschulen (AEC) has developed a framework for reviews of European higher music education institutions and programmes in music. This framework is outlined in the AEC Framework Document Quality Assurance and Accreditation in Higher Music Education: Characteristics, Criteria and Procedures.This handbook contains all the necessary information and descriptions of
procedures with respect to this process and outlines an indicative time schedule for it (from the point where an institution applies for a visit until the production of the final report). It also provides a
programme template for the visit itself. As such, much of the information it contains could be useful for reviews of institutions and programmes in music regardless of their status and context; therefore, the general terms of ‘review’ and ‘AEC review’ are used at points within the handbook, along with the more specific title of ‘AEC Quality Enhancement Process’.
