Quality Audit 2022

The quality assurance system of the University of Vienna was certified without requirements in 2022.

The Act on Quality Assurance in Higher Education (Hochschul-Qualitätssicherungsgesetz, HS-QSG) requires all Austrian universities to have their quality assurance systems evaluated and certified by an external agency. In 2022 the University of Vienna conducted the audit with the Swiss Agency of Accreditation and Quality Assurance (AAQ).

In the course of the auditing procedure, the University compiled a comprehensive self-evaluation report and was assessed by a group of five external assessors. In June 2022, the Swiss Accreditation Council certified the University of Vienna’s quality assurance system. The certificate is valid until June 2029.
