Quality Assurance in Research and Teaching
Research integrity and high quality teaching are expected as a matter of course at the University of Bonn.
Research Integrity
The University of Bonn has issued binding guidelines for safeguarding good research practice and appropriately handling allegations of research misconduct. Independent bodies ensure that suspected cases of research misconduct are investigated in accordance with national and international standards.
Good Teaching
The University of Bonn adopted an Evaluation Policy (EvaLS) that uses operational feedback to manage the quality assurance procedures for study and teaching. Systematic analysis, quality assurance and quality improvements are used with the aim of achieving defined study objectives and ensuring that study progresses in as “orderly” a fashion as possible.
