Quality Assurance Organisation

The Dean's office has overall responsibility for all of the faculty’s study programmes.

The Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences has a number of boards, councils, committees, and agents, which advice the Dean's office concerning the quality assurance of teaching, courses and study programmes.

Descriptions of functions: Heads of studies, chairs of study boards and heads of departments are responsible for one or more study programmes. Course organisers and teaching committees are responsible for teaching on one or more courses. The specific responsibilities for the individual forums and agents are explained in the descriptions of functions, which can be found onThe Faculty's KUnet site on quality assurance.

Employer panels: The employer panels give advice on the quality of education, changes to the curricula and the relevans of the study programmes from an employer's perspective. Link to information about employer panels (in Danish).

Study boards: The study boards work continuously and systematically with the development and adjustment of the study programmes in relation to the developments within research and the needs of the job market. Link to information about study boards.

Educational councils: Five academic educational councils have been set up at the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences. These are advisory bodies, but also ensure mutual communication between heads of department, heads of studies, chairs of study boards, course organisers, exam organisers and students.
