External experts:
In our regular quality rounds, the degree programmes are examined and evaluated in detail. All stakeholders of the participating degree programmes are given the opportunity to discuss the degree programme, its quality and its development prospects, work together on challenges and develop recommendations for action. The integration of external perspectives, the expertise of experts, also takes place within the framework of these decentrally organised formats. External experts have therefore been invited to the current quality round, who will accompany the round as ’Critical Friends‘, take part in the discussions and then draw up an expert opinion on the study programmes under review. The reviewers come from the fields of specialised science, professional practice and external students. Of course, you will receive all relevant information on the degree programmes in advance (regulations, module directories, minutes of previous quality rounds, current table of measures, etc.).

Controlling of measures:
An important component of decentralised QM is the implementation of the measures proposed in the quality rounds, as well as the controlling of measures as part of the quality round. The current table of measures is available to you for this purpose, showing you which measures from previous rounds have already been finalised, which are still being processed or have not yet been started and which measures will definitely not be implemented. In addition, it is also up to those involved in the quality round to determine whether the problems or weaknesses have been resolved or whether they need to be addressed by new or renewed measures in order to ultimately lead to success.
