QM Team

The Office for Quality Assurance in Teaching (Team QA Teaching) is part of the Office of the Vice-Rector for Teaching and Students. Our team consists of five employees (3.425 full-time equivalents) who work both on-site and remotely.

We support and accompany the implementation of targeted measures and procedures that are integrated into the university's quality strategy in order to continuously promote quality development. This also includes the implementation of quality assurance measures in accordance with the University Financing Ordinance (UniFinV). The legal framework for quality assurance is provided by various legal regulations and ordinances, such as the section on evaluation in the statutes and the University Act 2002. All projects and measures take place within this framework.

Our work to ensure that quality requirements are met therefore includes the development, implementation and documentation of quality processes, the definition of standards and regular audits to review the quality management system (QMS). In addition to the audit, however, continuous internal development of the quality management processes is also of crucial importance. Existing processes must be modified or redesigned in order to better meet the requirements of the respective faculty, teaching staff or students. In addition to these central tasks in quality assurance and development, our additional activities also include further training for employees as well as the formation of partnerships and cooperation with other universities and organisations.

A continuous improvement process makes it possible to recognise potential and implement targeted measures. Our aim is to continuously improve teaching and studies in order to fulfil the standards we have set and to strengthen the trust of students and teaching staff in our institution. The results of our surveys, analyses and evaluations form the basis for evidence-based decision-making in the governance structures of the University of Innsbruck.
