Service and Competence Centre for Higher Education Development and Quality Management

1. Programme Development and Innovation in Higher Education 

Our focus is on the (further) development of our range of study programmes and continuing education programmes. We monitor current developments in the national and international higher education sector and provide impulses for innovative solutions.

2. Evaluation

In addition to the provision of needs-based offers, the evaluation cycle for study and teaching is a central instrument for quality improvement at St. Pölten University of Applied Sciences. It is established for both study programmes and continuing education programmes and will be extended to further areas of the UAS in future.

3. Strategic Development

We offer support in the development of strategies and make sure that cross-cutting issues are coordinated and implemented in different activities. Examples are:

• Gender & Diversity
• Sustainability

4. Quality and Process Management

We create the framework conditions for high quality at our university of applied sciences. Through the process management and PDCA cycles, we establish the basis for effective collaboration and continuous improvement.

5. Higher Education Research

We actively participate in projects in higher education research and engage in exchange with experts from national and international institutions.
