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.

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.

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
