Quality

Diak’s quality policy is founded on our mission to promote a socially sustainable world and on the communal values that guide all our activities and form the basis of our quality work. 

Our operations are proactive, sustainable, impactful, of high quality, respectful of diversity and grounded in the promotion of wellbeing. We aim to be a forward-looking, inspiring and creative university of applied sciences that recognises the significance of education, works in a student-centred and participatory manner, and builds an operating culture based on openness. 

In line with our values, we seek to foster knowledge, cultivate a sense of belonging, and uphold democratic values. Our goal is to develop our activities continuously through our quality management system. The information produced by the system, together with practical development measures, supports students, staff, management and external stakeholders. 

Diak aims to generate genuine added value and societal impact, provide high-level expertise to meet the evolving needs of working life and society, and promote global sustainability. We work towards this in close collaboration with working life and other partners, drawing on extensive regional, national and international networks. At the same time, we share successes and best practices within our community through various networks and collaborative forums. 

Key principles of the Quality Policy 

We strive for sustainable excellence, built on equal learning opportunities, diversity and a thriving community. Diak’s quality system emphasises student-centredness, a developmental mindset and the quality of education. 

Quality management is directly linked to Diak’s strategy and risk management. Continuous evaluation of operations, anticipation, innovation and a participatory quality culture provide the foundation for our work. 

Quality covers teaching and learning, RDI activities, societal impact, continuous learning and the community services that support our operations. 

We ensure that the university of applied sciences meets the quality assurance requirements of the European Higher Education Area. International students can rely on the quality of our education.
