The quality system is comprised of three main elements:
Quality policy
In its quality policy, SDU has formulated clear goals and requirements for its work with quality in education throughout SDU during the student's educational journey. From when a student starts at the university, through to completing their courses of study and continuing to the job market. Read SDU's quality policy.
Quality organisation
SDU has established a quality organisation where the work with quality in education is rooted at all levels in the university's management structure - from the study administration to the Board. Read about how the tasks and responsibility for quality work are shared.
Documentation and follow-up
At SDU, there are continuous and systematic follow-up systems in place to determine whether the goals and requirements of the quality policy are being met. Read about the work involved with documentation and follow-up.
Background to the quality system
SDU's quality system, as it stands today, can trace its roots back to 2003, when the Danish University Act introduced "quality development" as a concept and clarified the delegation of responsibility with respect to internal quality assurance work. This resulted in development work being conducted in-house 51±¾É«, which over time has brought about the quality system th51±¾É« has today.
The quality system is based on common European standards and guidelines for universities’ internal quality assurance ().
