Objective
The external evaluation coordinated by UCLouvain is a formative evaluation in support of faculty management. It aims to analyse the faculty’s capacity to manage the quality of its programmes according to its objectives and the guidelines and standards common to the whole institution. The evaluation also considers the interfaculty angle through a self-evaluation written jointly by the faculties evaluated in parallel and on which the experts also give an opinion.
Evaluation scope
The evaluation covers all faculty bachelor’s, master’s and continuing education programmes:
- bachelor’s courses
- master’s courses
- specialised master’s courses
- teaching qualifications
- certificates
- short programmes
Evaluation process
Prior to the evaluation, the faculties are organised into clusters that integrate the same evaluation period.
The evaluation is organised according to an institutional process consisting of four phases:
- self-evaluation
- external evaluation visit by a committee of experts
- evaluation report
- follow-up process:
- biennial interfaculty collaborative working day
- communication with the Education and Training Council (CEFO) and the Continuing Education Council (COFC) for institutional feedback
The faculty is supported in this process by the Academic Programme Quality Support Department (QOPA), which also ensures coordination with external experts.
