Assurance of Learning, or AoL as we commonly refer to it, is a process and a tool that we at the School of Business and Economics have chosen to use in our efforts to improve the quality of our educational programmes for the benefit of our students.

For each programme, there are programme objectives that the School of Business and Economics students are expected to achieve. To gauge how well these objectives are being met, the students' performance is compared against the expectations. This is done through direct measurements of the programme goals. For these AoL measurements, assessment sheets are used where the assessor evaluates whether the students 'do not meet expectations', 'meet expectations', or 'exceed expectations'.

The results are then compiled and analyzed, to serve as the basis for improvement measures for the programmes and their content.

Quality Assurance Meeting Education, QuAME, is a forum for programme directors to meet and discuss various issues related to their programmes. QuAME meetings are part of the ongoing quality assurance process for education programmes at the faculty. QuAME is led by the Vice Dean for Education.

Exchange studies for programme students at the School of Business and Economics 

If your programme allows for one or more exchange semesters for students, there is administrative support available at the faculty and at the International Office.  

The application for exchange studies is open in two rounds, the first one during October-November and the second one during February-March. Students always apply for the upcoming academic year.

At the School of Business and Economics, there are two international coordinators who support programme directors and students.

• Teresa Pauditz
• Victor Bohman

For questions, contact mobility.sbe@lnu.se

For students at the School of Business and Economics, there is also an information page on Moodle.

International programme students

At the faculty, there are programmes advertised in the early admission round (mainly aimed at international students).

At the faculty, there are contact persons for international students as well as a study counsellor who works with these programmes.

• Terese Nilsson Contact person
• Mirja Sjögren Student counsellor

For the university as a whole, there are support functions available at the International Office.

International students are subject to the same regulations as national students. However, there are regulations for fee-paying students related to tuition fees. For this group of students, the Swedish Migration Agency is also involved. At the university, the International Office is in contact with the Swedish Migration Agency on overarching issues.

• internationalstudents@lnu.se International Office email for international students
• tuitionfees@lnu.se International Office email for questions about tuition fees/invoices

According to the Higher Education Act, students have the right to influence their education, which means they have the right to be represented when decisions are made or preparations are made that are important for the education or the students' situation.

For the programmes at the School of Business and Economics, there are student representatives in the programme councils. These are decided by Linnékåren, but recruitment is done locally through the faculty. For students to receive compensation, they must be appointed by the union.

If you have questions regarding student representation at the faculty, contact the person responsible for student representation, such as someone who is in contact with the union about new bodies that require student representation or changes in the number of seats.

• Emmelie Hedin Ekholm Contact person for student representation

On Linnékåren's website, there is an application form that students who want to be representatives must fill out, as well as a register of appointed representatives.

https://linnek.se/eng/studentrepresentant/

Appointed student representatives are offered to participate in training held by the union and central functions, the compensation for which goes through the body for which the representative is appointed.

Student feedback

The university's starting point is that emerging feedback or problems should be solved as close to their source as possible according to the process description Handling of student feedback. In most cases, the teacher who teaches the course can receive feedback and solve any problems that arise. Students can also contact you as the programme director. If this does not work, the matter should be escalated to the relevant head of department. In some cases, it may involve appeals under Chapter 12 of the Higher Education Ordinance. If there are appeals involved, they are handled according to a specific procedure. Complaints under the discrimination law and the work environment act are also handled according to a specific procedure.

More information for students is available on Lnu.se Student rights and responsibilities.

The overall work with student recruitment at Linnaeus University is led and coordinated by the Section for Student Recruitment and Student Communication at the Communications Department. To support the work with recruitment priorities, there are common principles established by the Council for Education and Learning.

For comprehensive information on how the recruitment work is carried out and what you as a programme director can do yourself, visit the staff page for student recruitment.

Within the faculty, there are contact persons for student recruitment who collaborate with the Communications Department. They can, for example, assist you with updates to your programme page for recruitment purposes.

• Malin Madestam
• Terese Nilsson
• Emmelie Hedin Ekholm
