Quality and assessment
Quality is valued at Xamk, and the development of quality is included in the actions of all our students and staff.
We constantly develop the quality of education, RDI activities, business services and support services based on the user and customer feedback we receive.
In addition to feedback we develop the quality of our operations through self-evaluation. We also participate in national evaluations of higher education institutions.
All for the quality!
Our quality system corresponds to the European quality assurance principles and recommendations for higher education institutions according to the Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the European Higher Education Area (ESG).
Xamk’s quality system was audited by The Finnish Education Evaluation Centre (FINEEC) and was awarded a quality label that will be valid until 2027. Also, Xamk was added to the Audit Register for Higher Education Institutions. The purpose of the audit is to ensure that Xamk complies with national quality assurance criteria and general European guidelines. The audit team gave Xamk excellent scores on the management of the quality system, staff’s development and wellbeing promotion programs, and the applicability and development of the quality system. Read more about the subject in External audit.
Our strategic goal is to stand out from other institutions especially with the quality of our education, up-to-date operations, RDI and internationality.
