Quality work at the study portfolio level

UiA will offer a study programme portfolio with high quality in all academic fields. The connection between education and research and between teaching and research is to be emphasised. 

UiA will take care of its social responsibility by contributing to fulfilling regional and national needs for labour, contribute to competence development and life-long learning as well as by being an active disseminator of knowledge both regionally and nationally.

The objective of quality work at study programme portfolio level is to identify challenges to the total portfolio and single programmes and to identify possible systematic challenges that cut across the programmes. Analyses of data at the faculty – and institutional levels will be part of the basis for the work. A report on the programme portfolio is prepared once per year (calendar year).

Quality work at the study programme portfolio level includes the following activities and reports:

Yearly:

  • Discussion in the faculty’s/teacher education unit’s manager meeting
  • Quality report from the faculties/ teacher education unit
  • Dialogue meeting between the university management and the current faculty/teacher education unit master
  • Dialogue meeting between the university management and the joint faculties/teacher education unit.
  • The Education and Research Report
  • University Board decision on the study programme portfolio and planned admission of students

Periodically:

  • Periodic study programme portfolio evaluation
  • Analyses and surveys
