The Service and Competence Center for Higher Education Development and Quality Management combines institutional topics and future trends with the objective of further developing the St. Pölten University of Applied Sciences in line with its strategic goals.
To this end, we plan, coordinate, and accompany activities in the entire higher education sector. Our goal: the continuous further development of quality in teaching, research, and organisation at our institution. In this context, we promote the realisation of cross-sectional topics at all levels of the UAS. With our focus on national and international trends, we boost the St. Pölten UAS’ innovative power and profile.
Our experts actively support and help shape the institution in the following areas of competence:
Our Areas of Competence
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:
4. Quality and Process Management
