Quality assurance and quality development of doctoral education

The quality of education is evaluated every six years. The most recent evaluation of doctoral education at the Faculty of Law took place in 2019-2020. A comprehensive self-assessment report (completed on 22 January 2020) formed the basis for an external review conducted by Professor Inger Johanne Sand, University of Oslo, and Professor Henrik Palmer Olsen, University of Copenhagen. They completed their assessment report (see link below) on 16 September 2020. The Committee on Doctoral Education adopted an action plan on 9 December 2020 (see link below).

On 23 April 2025, the Faculty Board decided on the procedure for the upcoming evaluation. This time too, the evaluation will be carried out through a self-assessment report and through external review by external experts appointed by the Faculty Board.

According to the timeline decided at the same time, initiation and planning of routines for evaluating educational quality and quality work at an overall level will take place during the autumn semester of 2025. The doctoral education will be evaluated first, during the period from the spring semester of 2026 to the spring semester of 2027, and then evaluation of the education in the master's programs and the law program will follow.
