The University of Eastern Finland (UEF) passed the audit conducted by the Finnish Education Evaluation Centre (FINEEC). Passing the audit shows that the UEF’s activities and quality system meet both the national criteria and the European quality assurance criteria for higher education institutions. UEF was awarded a quality label valid for six years.
Results of the Audit of the UEF will be introduced on concluding seminar on Monday, 3 April 2023, at 14:15–16:00. The seminar is open for the university staff and students, and it will be held in English on campuses and via Teams. Further information about the seminar can be found in news release on Yammer (requires UEF-login).
According to the audit team, an organisational culture prevails at the UEF, enabling both students and teachers to make their voice heard.
Students have been actively taken into account in the management and quality systems, and they are offered a wide variety of opportunities to participate in the activities of the university community. UEF’s commitment to the development of teaching and competence is strong. Both students and teachers gave special praise to the use of the flipped learning method.
However, not all students feel that they are included as full members of the university community. International degree students and doctoral researchers would like UEF to further develop their position.
The audit report is available on FINEEC’s audit platform.
