Roles in quality assurance work

All study programmes must be headed by a programme board with a programme chairman.

Main content

In organizational terms, the programme may be subject to one or more departments, but one faculty has the administrative and financial responsibility for the study programme. The programme board function may be placed with bodies that also have other tasks. The programme board is responsible for operating the programme, and has an advisory function toward the department and faculty in terms of decisions and plans for courses and programmes. Cross-disciplinary programmes must be operated in accordance with adopted guidelines for cross-disciplinary cooperation, see attachment.

Other relevant functions with responsibility for education are course coordinators, teaching supervisors and heads of teaching at the various departments. The distribution of responsibility between the various functions varies between the departments.

Separate instructions may be drawn up for course coordinators. In addition, the programme auditor scheme is used.
