The Quality Assurance System (or QAS) is designed to ensure that MF provides education of high international quality, and that the education of students who graduate from MF is well adapted to the workplace they will be stepping into. It relies on students’ perspectives on MF’s recruitment, learning and teaching environment, exam procedures, and additional preparations for professional life. The system encompasses all of MF’s undergraduate, graduate, and continuing education programs.

The requirement to have a Quality Assurance System is established by law, and regulated by the Norwegian Agency for Quality Assurance in Education. Internally, the MF Board oversees the Quality Assurance System, and provides guidelines for ongoing quality improvement. The Board of MF holds primary responsibility for the education quality, and delegates the implementation of the system to other departments within the institution.
