AQAustria Qualitätssiegel

In its 53rd board meeting on 13.03.2019, the board of AQ Austria discussed the certification of the quality management system of the Mozarteum University Salzburg and decided to certify the quality management system with two conditions. The certification is valid until 12.03.2026.

The fulfilment of the conditions must be proven in writing within two years of certification, i.e. by 12.03.2021. At its 66th meeting on 24.03.2021, the Board of AQ Austria decided, on the basis of the report submitted by the Mozarteum University Salzburg on 25.02.2021, that both requirements of the internal quality management audit have been fulfilled. The certification of the internal quality management system of the Mozarteum University Salzburg is now valid without conditions until 12.03.2026.

INCOMING & OUTGOING SURVEY

  • When?
    Ongoing towards the end of the study visit 
  • Who may participate?

  • How is the evaluation carried out?
    Online questionnaires (link by e-mail) 

SUPPLEMENTARY

  • Quality assurance measures according to § 2 Abs. 1 Z 1 UniFinV (graduate tracking, student monitoring, external evaluation of study programmes)
  • Person-related voluntary evaluation
  • Individual-related evaluation on an ad hoc basis (e.g. termination of contract, § 49 UniKV)  
  • Appointment procedure
  • Career Centre
  • International Summer Academy
  • Human Resources Development & Family Services
  • Pre-College Salzburg
  • etc. 

In addition to the constant efforts to carry out all evaluation procedures in the appropriate manner, the main focus is on the responsible handling of the results. The results of all surveys are therefore taken very seriously and forwarded to the Rectorate for their information. The results and possible consequences are discussed in a quality circle (e.g. talks with teachers or suggestions for improvement). The Rectorate then decides on concrete measures and publishes a summary of these on the university's website. 

Data protection is of great concern to the university. Therefore, the answers of the participants are treated with the utmost care in order to preserve their anonymity. The questions, a defined response threshold and the design of the evaluation of the results ensure that no conclusions can be drawn about the individual.

Survey of graduates (ongoing)
Survey of incoming students (ongoing)
Survey of outgoing students (ongoing)
Survey of events within the framework of staff development (ongoing)
Survey on the Career Centre's events (ongoing)
