• The University Evaluation Committee
  The Committee is made up of 5 members from outside the University, all of them with expertise in the field of evaluation. The Committee is the responsibile for continuously and systematically verifying the University’s performance in the overall organization, its research and teaching and learning activities, as well as ensuring the overall quality of the processes, thereby helping to improve the internal self-assessment system. One of its members is also a student representative appointed by the CDA from among all the students elected.

Student opinion surveys

The process of evaluating teaching activities is based on student opinion surveys conducted on the individual courses of study.

The survey consists of an anonymous questionnaire composed of 15 questions: one part is devoted to evaluating the overall organisation of the course, one part relates to the teaching activities and the final part is devoted to measuring the students’overall satisfaction.

The questionnaire is made available on an e-learning platform and is therefore conducted online. It is accessible to all students enrolled in a degree course. The opinions, collected in the form of data, are then analysed at the level of the single lecturer, the teaching unit and the degree course. The questionnaire is measured on two dimensions: the course organization and the teaching activities.

The results are visible via the Academic Performance System (APS), a monitoring system developed by the University.

As described in the relevant Guidelines, the Quality Office provides students with an additional tool, the e-mail address qualityoffice@hunimed.eu, through which they can communicate any opinions, suggestions and issues. The Quality Office has the task of assessing the communications received and subsequently addressing them to the competent offices, in order to implement corrective actions where necessary.

Student representatives

The student representatives involved in the University’s governing bodies are elected every two years and can be re-elected only once.
