Quality work at the study programme level

UiA will offer study programmes with updated and relevant learning outcomes, and with courses that contribute to students achieving the defined learning outcomes of the programme. Study programmes must be based on research- and development work, relevant experience from working life and social life, and should also attend to national and international perspectives.

Study programmes should have satisfactory framework conditions and a well-developed infrastructure. Students must encounter a high-quality and consistent learning environment that takes care of both physical, psychosocial, organisational, digital and pedagogical aspects.

The learning environment should enhance learning and student involvement and stimulate students to complete their studies within the nominal length of study.

Study programmes must have adequate framework conditions and infrastructure. Students should experience a well-rounded learning environment that addresses physical, psychosocial, organisational, digital, and pedagogical aspects. The learning environment should promote learning and student engagement while encouraging students to complete their studies within the standard timeframe.

The purpose of quality work at the programme level is to evaluate various aspects of the study programme from the perspectives of students, staff, and external stakeholders, with a view to making improvements and identifying qualities that should be maintained. Quality work at the programme level must also ensure that criteria set by the Regulation on Study Quality and the Regulation on Supervision of Educational Quality, as well as any additional requirements established by UiA, are met.

For regular bachelor's and master's degree programmes, an annual study report must assess the robustness of the program based on indicators with corresponding thresholds in a traffic light model, along with qualitative evaluations. In the traffic light model:

  • An indicator below the threshold value is marked yellow.
  • Programmes with a certain number of yellow indicators over a specified period are marked red.

The University Board must be informed about programs marked red and will give special attention to these in study portfolio evaluations.
