Quality Assurance System for First‑, Second‑ and Third‑cycle Education
The purpose of Mid Sweden University’s quality assurance system is to create the conditions and structures necessary for quality assurance and systematic quality improvement of the University’s programmes and courses.
Mid Sweden University’s quality assurance system builds upon the Swedish Higher Education Act, the Swedish Higher Education Ordinance and the standards and guidelines that apply to all higher education in Europe. Mid Sweden University’s quality assurance system follows the guidelines advocated by the European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (ENQA).
Quality assurance and enhancement – Mid Sweden University’s processes and methods for ensuring and improving the quality of courses and programmes – are to be based on the intended learning outcomes and the grades awarded to first-, second- and third-cycle students. Quality assurance and enhancement are to be proactive, systematic and integrated in all activities and operations, including when planning, budgeting and following up. This means quality assurance and enhancement should:
- formulate and communicate the goals for activities;
- organise and allocate resources for processes and methods in relation to established goals;
- clearly define responsibilities;
- implement and follow up processes and methods;
- communicate and use follow-ups and evaluations as part of future development and improvement efforts;
- integrate quality assurance and enhancement into the University’s follow-up and planning.
