LEQS Division
Office of Teaching Development and Quality Assurance (LEQS)
The Office of Teaching Development and Quality Assurance (LEQS) supports the university administration by providing advice, developing concepts, and organizing initiatives to shape the university’s profile and drive its strategic development in the areas of teaching innovation and quality management.
As an interface between the university administration, departments, and central research institutions, it develops strategic concepts to position the university as an excellent and competitive educational institution with contemporary and forward-looking degree program structures, as well as proposals for appropriate measures and governance structures to achieve these goals.
The LEQS Office initiates, coordinates, and supports measures to ensure and further develop quality in the areas of academic programs and teaching at RPTU; it is responsible for designing and implementing the system-accredited quality management systems for academic programs and teaching, as well as for developing a unified quality management system for the university; and it organizes the establishment, (re-)accreditation, and decommissioning of all offered degree programs and oversees all significant changes.
In addition to quality assurance for all on-campus undergraduate degree programs, a key focus is also on the certificates offered and on part-time and advanced distance learning programs. Decisions are based on regularly conducted surveys and evaluations, as well as on the analysis of monitoring metrics for students in all degree programs.
