Quality Audit
The University of Innsbruck was the first Austrian university to be certified for its quality management system (QMS) by the Swiss quality assurance agency AAQ in 2014 and recertified in 2021 without conditions. This shows that the university has optimally adapted its internal processes to ensure and increase quality. It is also proof of the high quality in the organization of research and teaching at the University of Innsbruck - not only once did the auditors in the evaluation report make extremely positive reference to sub-areas of research, teaching and personnel development.
