Evaluation & Monitoring of studies/teaching

A variety of quantitative and qualitative surveys are at the heart of determining and analyzing the quality of studies and teaching.

With the enactment of the evaluation regulations created the legal basis for standardized university-wide evaluations of teaching and learning with the following characteristics:

• Course evaluation
• module evaluation
• degree program evaluation

In this context the following student surveys are carried out regularly:

• Surveys on lectures, seminars/exercises, laboratory work
• Module and final module surveys
• First semester surveys
• End-of-study surveys

With their anonymous participation in the teaching evaluation, students have the opportunity to make an important contribution to the qualitative development of teaching and the degree programs.

 Furthermore, the satisfaction of teaching staff is determined at regular intervals.

In recent years, Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences has also taken part in various surveys conducted by external contractors and cooperation partners, for example

• Saxon student surveys and Saxon graduate studies (2008/09, 2013/14, 2018/19, 2022/23)
• Nationwide graduate panel (2018)
• EUROGRADUATE pilot survey (2018)
• CHE-QUEST survey on the diversity of the student body (2010, 2011)
• CHE university rankings
