On April 14, 2022, the visit of the expert panel for institutional accreditation of Northern University ended. During the four-day (April 11-14) full-fledged and productive work, the expert panel of the National Centre for Professional Education Quality Assurance Foundation (ANQA) held meetings with the leadership of the University, the governing body members, the self-analysis group, heads of departments, deans, employers, graduates, heads of chairs, study programme managers, representatives of the teaching staff, Student Council and Student Scientific Society (SSS). During the meetings, the work done by the University over the past four years, the fulfillment of the criteria in accordance with the Strategic Plan since the previous accreditation in 2018, the obstacles faced by the University, the achievements and implementation of the processes set out by the expert panel in the Improvement Programme were considered and disccussed.
Facts, arguments and justifications were considered especially important during the discussions: What had been done, how, what steps had been taken in all directions to achieve sufficient indicators? The meetings were interrupted by closed discussions of the expert panel, study of documents, inspection of the University's resources and infrastructure.
We are looking forward to the final report of the ANQA Expert Panel.
