The quality management system ensures coordinated feedback cycles on and across all structural levels.
Binding targets for each level (university, faculty, study programme, module) are defined and respective concepts are set up. The accomplishment of all targets is subject to a monitoring process.
FAU’s mission statement depicts its self-image and names general profile lines in research, teaching and administration. Its mission for Teaching and Studying identifies six strategic objectives for this area:
- Strengthen the unity of research and teaching
- Make FAU more international and cosmopolitan and increase mobility
- Encourage innovative teaching and creativity
- Develop opportunities for learning at all levels of university education
- Develop services and infrastructures
- Participation and identification – take responsibility and make decisions together
On the level of the individual faculties the objectives of these mission statements are transferred, specified and complemented into faculty targets and a faculty mission.
