Continuous feedback on various aspects of studying and teaching from students, students who have withdrawn or otherwise disenrolled, and graduates is solicited in various formats, including evaluations and meetings of commissions, task forces, and working groups. This feedback then goes back into the further development of training and education in veterinary medicine with the involvement of students and lecturers and in cooperation with the Education Commission, the Faculty Council and the Dean's Office.

Pursuant to section 14 of the Partial Basic Ordinances of Freie Universität Berlin (Teilgrundordnung) and/or section 73 of the Higher Education Act for the State of Berlin (BerlHG), the Education Commission (Ausbildungskommission, ABK) is a body of the faculty that is tasked by the Faculty Council with supporting and advising the council on matters relating to education. With the participation of students and lecturers, the Education Commission regularly deals with the conceptual design and further development of study programs and makes recommendations to the Faculty Council with an eye to improving study conditions in individual programs, alignment toward current vocational profiles, rules and regulations, and other factors within the scope of development and further development of academic programs.

The Education Commission of the School of Veterinary Medicine is composed of the Vice Dean for Study Affairs and three additional professors, two research associates or assistants, and eight students. At least one student on the commission is supposed to represent the degree program in Equine Science. The members by co-optation are the head of the Study Office and the Advisor for University Studies and Teaching.

Do you have suggestions or questions about quality assurance at the School of Veterinary Medicine? If so, please contact our Adviser for University Studies and Teaching.

The School of Veterinary Medicine annually compiles an quality report on studies and teaching to inform the Executive Board of Freie Universität Berlin about key figures on cohort progressions and study durations, the results of quality assurance processes, the measures that have been developed and implemented, and the inclusion of these measures in the development of study programs.

The quality reports can be found here.
