    Quality Audit – What is it?
    • Audit is an independent and systematic external evaluation
    • Audit focuses on the procedures that Aalto uses to maintain and
    develop the quality of its operations
    • Main purpose of the audit is to help the university identify its
    strengths, good practices and areas that need improvement
    • Site visit 26.-28.1.2016 by international audit group named by the
    Finnish Education Evaluation Centre (FINEEC)

    ”Quality audit is like a vehicle inspection.


    But you don’t maintain your car to pass the
    inspection, you maintain it to drive safe.
    Similarly, quality assurance and
    development work is not done to pass the
    audit, but to make Aalto a better place to
    study and work at.”
    -Jouko Lampinen, Head of CS department, Aalto SCI
