Study Boards at Aalborg University

Study board

The deans set up one or several study boards covering one or more degree programmes or parts of degree programmes. The study board helps to ensure staff and student involvement and influence on issues relating to education and teaching.

The study board is responsible for ensuring the organisation, implementation and development of degree programmes and teaching activities. The study board comments on issues presented by the day-to-day management of the University. Furthermore, the study board may comment on issues of significance to department activities, which the study board considers to be relevant.

The responsibilities of the study boards include:

  • quality assurance and quality development of degree programmes and teaching; and follow-ups of programme and teaching evaluations in cooperation with the head of department
  • to prepare drafts for curricula and regulations and amendments hereof
  • to approve the plan for the organisation of teaching and tests and other assessments included in the examination and, in collaboration with the head of studies, to undertake the task of the practical organisation hereof
  • to approve applications for credit transfers, including advance credit transfer, and for exemptions
  • to recommend a head of studies
  • to discuss inquiries concerning problems in the teaching and to forward information on this and any recommendations to the head of department.

Members

The dean determines the number of members of a study board; however, a study board must consist of a minimum of four and a maximum of 12 members. All members must be elected by and among the academic staff, including employed PhD fellows, and by and among the students in the ratio 1:1.

The representatives of the academic staff are elected for four-year terms, whereas representatives for the students are elected for one-year terms. The study board elects a chairperson from among its academic staff members and a deputy chairperson from among its student members. The dean must approve the elected chairperson.
