The Quality and Knowledge Management Department supports the university in further developing and securing its strategic, academic and administrative services. It creates the framework conditions for a learning organisation in which quality is continuously reviewed, knowledge is made available in a structured manner and sustainable improvements are initiated.
Course evaluation is one of the core instruments within the framework of quality assurance in teaching and study operations at the University of Applied Sciences Burgenland. We have been using this feedback instrument for years - this is how we have succeeded in building up a good culture of evaluation.
The University of Applied Sciences Burgenland uses a process-oriented quality management system (PQMS) for quality assurance, further development and legally compliant implementation of university processes. The Quality and Knowledge Management Department , Rectorate Directorate structures and documents all relevant processes at University of Applied Sciences Burgenland. In this way, work steps are made transparent, responsibilities of involved organisational units and interfaces are defined and process variants are presented.
QM circles are held at regular intervals with various stakeholder groups, e.g.:
- UAS College Council
- Council committees
- Management forum
- University forum
- Research forum
- Staff Forum
- Study and Course Forum

Jour-Fixes in the individual departments ensure the transfer of information to the staff.
