Highly qualified graduates with relevant competencies

Through their studies, students must acquire knowledge, in addition to both academic and praxis-oriented competencies that fulfil society’s needs.

Founded in disciplinary excellence, AU’s degree programmes must provide students with relevant knowledge, qualifications and competencies to enable graduates to navigate in a dynamic, digitalised job market. Students must have opportunities to participate in career development activities that assist them in clarifying their career ambitions and competencies and smooth the transition from university to employment or entrepreneurship.

Students must have opportunities to connect with the job market in order to bring their subject knowledge into play in relevant professional contexts and develop networks with potential employers.

All students must be exposed to and encouraged to interact with stakeholders in the labour market. Students must be given opportunities to work with practically oriented, career-relevant topics, meet potential employers and connect with professional role models in relevant positions.

AU’s goal is to ensure the relevance of its degree programmes through ongoing contact with employers of AU’s graduates.

At AU, students must encounter degree programmes that are developed and designed with the involvement of relevant employer perspectives. To ensure this, employers must be involved in the ongoing process of developing the quality of AU’s degree programmes.
