Quality assurance in research education
The doctoral programmes at LUSEM are regularly evaluated and developed so that the quality of the programmes can be maintained. Peer review is a crucial part of this quality assurance process, and an external peer review committee is appointed for every evaluation.
The quality assurance process
The process starts with a self-evaluation made by the department responsible for the doctoral programme. This self-evaluation is summarized in a self-assessment report. The doctoral student union gets the opportunity to submit a special report to the peer-review committee. Based on the self-assessment report, the doctoral student union’s report, and interviews with representatives from the department management, supervisors and doctoral students, the task of the peer-review committee is to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the programme and make recommendations.
