Decentralized quality management at the Faculty of Biology and Psychology

What is it all about?

The degree programs are examined and evaluated in detail in regular quality rounds. All those involved in the degree programs (teaching staff, students, administration) are given the opportunity to discuss the degree program, its quality and its development prospects, work together on challenges and develop recommendations for action. External students and experts are also regularly involved in this process.

What does this have to do with me?

How does the process work at the Faculty?

The Faculty's degree programs have been divided into 4 clusters (see below), in each of which a quality round takes place every two years. Each quality round is prepared by an organization team consisting of representatives of all status groups. This team decides which topics are to be discussed and how the quality round should be structured. The actual quality rounds are open discussion rounds, to which all students and lecturers of the relevant degree programs are invited and discuss the prepared topics. The organizational team then formulates proposals for measures based on the results of the discussion, which are reported to the Study Commission and the Faculty Council. These bodies formally decide on the implementation of the measures and ensure the cross-faculty control of the quality management system.
