Programme auditor

The university uses two forms of external assessment as part of its systematic quality assurance of education offered. In addition to the individual departments using external examiners to assess their students’ individual performance in exams or tests, the faculties also have a system involving the use of programme auditors.

Where examinations are held without the assistance of external examiners, the assessment system must be specially approved by the faculty, based on the programme auditor’s evaluation of the assessment system. Pursuant to the regulations relating to degrees and programmes of study, an individual faculty can specify more detailed rules for their system of assessment, including minimum requirements for external assessment for the individual study programmes. It is up to each faculty to decide how many programme auditors they would like to use and which part or parts of each individual programme the programme auditors should primarily focus on. Further guidelines for external assessment have been adopted. Programme auditors are required to submit an annual report (lenke) on their work.
