What are the Quality Dialogues?

Quality exchanges are central elements of the QES and serve the purpose of continuous exchange and reflection on study program quality. They embody a structured communication culture that brings together all stakeholders involved in a study program, including teaching staff, students, Quality Officers, and external experts. Within these exchanges, study programs are regularly evaluated in order to continuously review and improve the quality of teaching and learning. The quality exchanges are based on the Catalog of Quality Criteria (QKK), which serves as a binding assessment framework. Study program meetings (SGG) take place at least every two years, while study program conferences (SGK) are held once per quality cycle, generally every eight years. A cycle meeting is held in preparation for the SGK. These exchanges are primarily used to evaluate the degree to which the subject-content quality criteria have been fulfilled.
