UKÄ Evaluation

National quality assurance system

The national quality assurance system includes four components (different types of assessments):

• Reviews of higher education institutions’ quality assurance procedures
• A selection of study programme evaluations
• Thematic evaluations
• Appraisals of entitlement to award qualifications (only applies to vocational degrees at UU or if entitlement to award qualifications is revoked)

More information regardning UKÄ´s evaluations can be found on UKÄ´s webpage. Within the national quality assurance system, higher education institutions themselves are responsible for evaluating and assuring the quality of their study programmes.
