At the faculty, a long-term planning for the evaluation of all lecturers and teaching has been established for many years. Evaluations of the teaching activities at the faculty are conducted at regular intervals according to guidelines using standardized questionnaires provided by the Teaching Evaluation Office of the Vice-Rectorate for Quality Assurance of the University of Bern.
Additionally, the faculty regularly analyses the outcomes of all examinations.
Results are discussed in the Curriculum Committee, feedback is provided to the teaching staff, and measures are decided within the Curriculum Committee. The measures are then directly integrated into the continuous development of our curriculum. In addition, the Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH) has commissioned the Institute for Medical Education (IML, Bern medical faculty) to monitor the quality of the federal license exam.
The Federal Statistical Office regularly performs outcome studies which include university graduates. These surveys are supplemented by specific questions from the Universities. Furthermore, the Vetsuisse faculty closely collaborates with the Swiss Society of Veterinarians GST which performed in 2018 a survey on the optimization of veterinary training and the working situation for veterinary practitioners in Switzerland.
