FINEEC's self-assessment report for the ENQA targeted review 2026

FINEEC’s self-assessment report (SAR) was produced collaboratively by the staff of FINEEC’s Unit for Higher Education and Liberal Adult Education. The self-assessment process included self-assessment exercises conducted with the unit staff, the FINEEC Higher Education Evaluation Committee, and the FINEEC management team during spring 2026. 

The unit staff’s (ESG Part 2, enhancement theme) and Higher Education Evaluation Committee’s (ESG 2.2., 2.4., 2.5. & 2.6.) self-assessments focused on the institutional quality audits. The reflections from the unit staff self-assessment exercise have been integrated in the text in Chapter 4. A summary of key points from the Higher Education Evaluation Committee reflections are presented in Part III. The self-assessment concerning the EUR-ACE engineering programme accreditations was conducted by a FINEEC staff member. The FINEEC management team conducted a SWOT analysis of FINEEC as an agency. Writing responsibilities for individual chapters were divided between unit staff members and the Head of Unit. Responsibilities were divided according to current responsibilities and interests. All unit staff, FINEEC management team and the members of the Higher Education Evaluation Committee commented on the report. The report was edited by a core team. The outcomes of the self-assessment exercise will be integrated into the annual strategic development cycle of FINEEC where appropriate. The outcomes of SAR will be further discussed in the unit, and improvement actions are taken where necessary.
