IN FOCUS A T ILISIMATUSARFIK, QUALITY ASSURANCE is about creating the best framework for our students - from the first day of study to the career after graduation. It is not only a question about living up to our requirements, but an ongoing process, where we constantly adjust and improve based on the experiences of our students. WHY IS QUALITY ASSURANCE IMPORTANT? Our goal is that our students not only complete their exams, but are well-equipped to entering the labor market. Therefore, we focus on both the pedagogy and research quality in our programs, while also creating a strong study environment. We work with international tools that are designed to improve the quality of higher education programs, and which ensure that our programs follow a high international standard. HOW DO WE WORK WITH QUALITY ASSURANCE? We have started a number of initiatives that will contribute to improving the quality of our programs. Our student counselor continues to work on student retention, and we annually publish an enrollment analysis based on our experiences from our new students. Meanwhile we have a taskforce that focuses on strengthening our internal quality assurance and Read more about our continued work with quality assurance at uni.gl. policies. A SHARED RESPONSIBLITY Quality assurance is a shared responsibility at Ilisimatusarfik. We listen to the students through continual evaluations regarding classes, exam forms and the study environment. This feedback is actively used in our programs, where we can quickly translate the results into improvements. THE FUTURE FOR QUALITY ASSURANCE Our work never ends. We constantly look at how we can improve - for instance, by strengthening the bond between theory and practice through several partnerships with the labor market and internship possibilities. The goal is clear: to create the best framework for learning and to prepare our students for the future. www.uni.gl 33
