Quality Management

Quality matters to all of us

This maxim is the bedrock which has always guided quality-awareness among the active stakeholders at Kufstein University of Applied Sciences. The firmly rooted philosophy of quality gives rise to sustainability, and this helps to create a quality culture within the institution.

All universities of applied sciences in Austria are legally bound (§ 2 Abs 3 FHG) to build its own quality management system in due to quality and performance assurance. The Kufstein University of Applied Sciences has opted for an integrated processoriented quality management covering all areas of the university. The entire Prozess Management is based on constant improvement and therefore on the quality control loop known as the PDCA cycle (plan, do, check, act). The current version of the process map is always accessible to all staff members through the university's intranet.
