Quality assurance and enhancement

A model for education and research

We work systematically to assure and enhance the quality of education and research. The work is based on national legislation, European guidelines and our policy for quality assurance and enhancement. The goal is to deliver education and research of high quality that are highly valued by students, employees and other stakeholders.

The basis for our quality assurance work

LiU’s quality assurance work is grounded in the university’s vision and strategic plan for 2030, as well as its policy for quality assurance and enhancement of education and research. The work is characterised by:

  • Continuous development and renewal of education and research to achieve excellence and societal benefit
  • Strong student engagement and active student influence
  • Academic freedom, good research practice and high credibility
  • Participation, trust and collegial leadership that contributes to a strong quality culture

Quality assurance work also contributes to open science and promotes learning and the exchange of experience both within and beyond the university.

Delivering results – quality assurance in practice

LiU follows an annual cycle that integrates planning, follow-up and development. Through analysis, dialogue and shared priorities, insights are translated into concrete improvements for students, teachers, researchers and the university as a whole.
The annual cycle consists of four stages:

  • Planning – frameworks and priorities for the coming year are established
  • Analysis and dialogue – faculties and departments review results and identify areas for development
  • Summary – the annual education report and research action plans (LiRE) inform strategic work and highlight university-wide lessons and proposed areas for improvement
  • Improvement – decisions lead to changes in education, research and support activities.

This cycle ensures that quality assurance is embedded in daily operations and that development is continuous and long-term.

Quality Assurance Board

LiU’s Quality Assurance Board is the vice-chancellor’s advisory body on matters relating to quality assurance and enhancement of education and research. The Board is divided into two sections: one for first and second-cycle (undergraduate and Master’s) education, and one for third-cycle (doctoral) education and research. It is chaired by deputy vice-chancellors and includes pro-deans, vice-chancellor’s advisers, as well as student and doctoral representatives. The Board contribute to a shared understanding of quality issues and proposes measures to strengthen quality work across the university.
