The Vice-Chancellor’s Quality Council

The Vice-Chancellor’s Quality Council is one of six Vice-Chancellor's Councils that work on behalf of, and report to, the Vice-Chancellor. The Vice-Chancellor's Councils function as strategic-operational platforms to promote the overall goals and visions of the University and have an advisory role towards the Vice-Chancellor's function.

The Vice-Chancellor’s Quality Council serves as an advisory body to the Vice-Chancellor on matters concerning the university’s quality system. Our responsibilities include monitoring the system through an annual quality report, which highlights its performance and identifies areas for improvement. We aim to foster a shared understanding of quality issues across departments and propose measures to further develop the university’s quality work.

With a focus on the university's quality work in education and research, the council shall:

• Drive and advise on issues that can support the university's strategic plan and vision.
• Contribute to the overall strategic direction of the university.
• Participate in the preparation of cases.
• Create the conditions for implementing the university's decided goals and strategies.

Aspects on quality work in education and research

We welcome aspects from employees and students regarding the institution's quality work in education and research. If you have questions, comments or suggestions for improvement, do not hesitate to contact the administrator at the council (see contact details below). Employees at the departments also have the opportunity to contact the academy representative at their own department, while students can contact either the academy representative at the relevant department or the student unions.
