The aim of this thesis is to approach a meaning of quality in higher education. The education is perceived as a system where several kinds of investment are transformed into outcomes with an added value. Determining a methodology based on a correlation analysis enables the author to look for links in education systems of selected members of the European Union. These links are interpreted in order to point out the qualitative implications of potential decisions in terms of managing this system both at a central and institutional level. Approaches to quality of tertiary education are presented in order to define the means of quality assessment and selecting a policy of achieving it. The functioning principles of higher education institutions describe the institutions' structure and characteristics. These are complemented with the impact of the European Union initiatives. The properties of higher education are analysed using selected indicators which are assumed to have an influence on education quality. The reasons for their choice are explained and an enouncement of hypotheses is followed by the correlation. The analysis outputs are interpreted and contextualised in accordance to their usability for the stakeholders.
