Degree programs at Freie Universität are regularly monitored for quality in terms of concept, realization, and outcome. A variety of different instruments and procedures are used for this purpose, each focusing on different aspects of teaching and educational quality.

  • Are the qualification objectives meaningful? Does the curriculum demonstrably correspond to them?
    These questions are evaluated using the tools of peer consultation (Fachgespräch) and the compliance inspection of current requirements: focus on the formal criteria for elements of degree program design (Ampelauswertung).

  • Is the curriculum content taught and structured in such a way to realistically meet the requirements of students?
    This is evaluated partly through central surveys and teaching evaluations.

  • Do the skills and knowledge students gain during their studies correspond to the established qualification goals? Does the course of study prepare students for their future professional duties and their further career path?
    Information on this is assessed using key performance indicators and the alumni survey.
