Quality assurance
At the University of Antwerp we ensure the quality of our programmes. Every programme goes through a six-year quality assurance cycle.
In year three, we review the quality assurance of the programme during the internal process monitoring and control. In autumn 2019 this was done for the bachelor and master in de informatica and the Master of Computer Science.
A peer review in year six concludes the cycle. The study programme conducts a self-reflection and has discussions with internal and external experts and with an independent student.
On 13-14 December 2023 the peer review team visited the bachelor and master in de informatica and the Master of Computer Science and decided to confirm its confidence in the programme.
Conclusions of the peer review team
The programme offers broad and well-balanced fundamentals in the bachelor's to be well prepared for the three specialisations in the master's, where the programme is strong in terms of research. Frequent use is made of group work and project work, where independent thinking and problem-solving is learned step by step. The programme plans more effective use of peer feedback and peer evaluation according to needs. The review team found that students (and graduates) are very satisfied with the programme since there are short lines of communication with teachers, concerns of students are taken into account and the developed hard and soft skills are a good preparation for the professional field.
To better match the large influx of Belgian and international students, in the coming period the programme will, among other things, make the structure of the programme and its unique profile clearer in communication. Possible obstacles to mapping out one's own path in the wide range of choices in the master's programme will be investigated and, if possible, remedied.
In order to get better acquainted with companies, job events will be organised and the possibility of a company internship will be looked into. More opportunities for international experiences will also be pursued.
