UKÄ´s programme evaluations

In the national system, higher education institutions (HEIs) will ordinarily conduct the programme evaluations themselves. However, UKÄ will still carry out a selection of programme evaluations, which are then excluded from UU’s programme evaluations. Reviews of doctoral education follows the same procedures as education at bachelor and masters level.

Educations evaluated by UKÄ do not have to be reviewed within Uppsala University´s programme evaluations. These educations still have to report results and planned actions.

Furthermore, the programme evaluations will focus on how the programmes ensure that students are given good opportunities to achieve the qualitative targets of the System of Qualifications, and how the HEI ensures that students have achieved the qualification objectives upon graduation.

The overall rating is given on a two-point scale. On the basis of the assessor panel’s report, UKÄ will decide if the programme maintains high quality or if the programme is under review. If a programme is under review, this means that UKÄ is also questioning the degree-awarding powers of the HEI when it comes to the qualification and subject field in question
