FHS quality assurance processes to be reviewed in 2027

The Swedish Higher Education Authority (UKÄ) will conduct a review of the Swedish Defence University’s quality assurance processes during 2027. The review will cover both education and research. The Swedish Defence University is required to produce a self-evaluation addressing its quality assurance work, demonstrating how the institution works to fulfil all assessment criteria, and evaluating how effectively these processes function.

This is a shared responsibility that is in the interest of the entire institution, and all parts of the organisation will need to contribute.

The deadline for the Swedish Defence University’s self-evaluation is 1 February 2027.

A thematic evaluation of the higher education institutions' collaboration based on the requirements of the Higher Education Act (1992:1434), which states that the higher education institutions' task shall include collaborating with the surrounding society for mutual exchange and working to ensure that the knowledge and expertise available at the higher education institution benefits society (Chapter 1, Section 2)
