Responsible for all questions of quality management in the Faculties are the Deans of Studies.</p> <p>In the quality cycle of teaching and learning, the Faculties regularly compare the qualification objectives of study programs with the current situation, evaluate them and initiate appropriate measures. In this assessment, results from the monitoring of the study program as well as from the different surveys and teaching evaluations are included. The results are recorded in an annual quality report. This quality report forms the basis for the QM talks held between the University Leadership and the Deans.</p> Content content-51389 Mon, 04 Apr 2022 15:18:38 +0200 https://www.uni-bremen.de/en/qm-portal/qa-in-teaching-studies#c51389 <p>The QM working group in quality assurance of teaching and learning ("AG QM") actively contributes to the design of quality management.

Quality goals must be developed where teaching actually takes place, namely in the subject areas and Faculties. The statutes for quality management and evaluation in teaching and learning at the University of Bremen provide the framework for the design of the quality management system.</p> <p>An integral part of the University-wide quality cycle are the biennial perspective talks held between the Rectorate and the Faculties. In these talks, i.a. based on the quality-related reports on teaching and learning, development goals are discussed and suitable measures agreed on to achieve the goals. In the intervening period, QA discussions take place between the deans, the study centers, students and the Vice President Academics in order to critically reflect on the implementation of the agreements made in the perspective talks regarding studies and teaching and to update the quality reports. While the perspective talks are of a more strategic nature, QA discussions focus on specific quality assurance measures.</p> <p>For the adoption of general University-wide rules as well as for fundamental decisions (e.g. the establishment of new courses of studies), at the institutional level the Academic Senate is responsible and the Faculty Councils at Faculty level.</p> Content content-51387 Tue, 16 Jan 2018 11:23:42 +0100 https://www.uni-bremen.de/en/qm-portal/qa-in-teaching-studies#c51387 <p>Quality management is a central cross-cutting task that encompasses numerous dimensions.
