Sažetak
Ensuring the quality of higher education is imperative for a modern knowledge-based society. The internal quality assurance system is expected to improve all aspects of institutional activity in accordance with its learning and teaching mission. This paper analyses the results of the reaccreditation of Croatian higher education institutions with the aim to research the link between the quality level of the internal quality assurance system and the quality level of other evaluation areas (1. internal quality assurance and the social role of higher education institutions ; 2. study programmes ; 3. teaching process and student support ; 4. teaching and institutional capacities ; 5. professional/scientific/artistic activities). To achieve the research goal and confirm the main hypothesis of the paper, the results of the re-accreditation procedures of Croatian higher education institutions in the second cycle were taken, and specific statistical tests were performed: Spearman correlation test, Kruskal-Wallis test and Dunn's test. The results prove the existence of a correlation between the development of the internal quality assurance system and the external quality assessment in all areas of evaluation. The implementation of a high-quality and comprehensive internal quality system can improve the quality of all areas of higher education and therefore higher education as a whole.
