Quality and development work

Last changed: 10 June 2026

SLU strives to provide high-quality programmes and courses. This is this important for the students, but also for society as a whole and future research. Quality work for undergraduate, Master’s and doctoral education is implemented at all levels within SLU and represents a joint concern for all our staff members and students.

Quality work within SLU’s courses and programmes

The systematic quality work within SLU’s undergraduate, Master’s and doctoral courses and programmes is outlined in the framework for the quality assurance of courses and study programmes at SLU.

The quality work is based on regulations, the university’s strategic objectives as well as the expectations of students, teachers and the surrounding community that courses and programmes be of a high quality. The systematic quality work at SLU aims to support a culture of shared definitions of good quality as a starting point in all work related to teaching and developing support and control systems. The quality work is based on SLU’s core values.

The Swedish Higher Education Authority (UKÄ) reviews the quality of higher education at a national level. Four different reviews constitute the national system for quality assurance. During 2019, SLU’s quality assurance work will be evaluated.
