Quality Assurance
As an institution that is itself constantly learning, education is the subject of an ongoing conversation at Freie Universität Berlin. Evidence-based, dialogue-oriented processes that meet high academic standards guarantee the superior quality of the university’s degree programs. Feedback from internal and external students and evaluations from instructors, experts from specific fields, and working professionals contribute greatly to discussions about the quality of education. The subjects, instruments, and processes of quality assurance are always adjusted to keep up with current academic, didactic, technological, and societal discourses. This encompasses openness, tapping into the potential of digital administrative, learning, and assessment systems for the further development of teaching and learning based on new data, and the widespread implementation of innovative feedback tools. Essential components of these processes include utilizing the results from these assessments, which means incorporating feedback from target groups, establishing suitable intervention measures, and enabling the participation of all status groups.
