Quality in studies and education
The HWG Ludwigshafen continuously develops the quality of its study programs. The Departments of Studies and Education are involved in the quality assurance and development system (QA/QE) in many ways: As the responsible organizational unit in accordance with the QA/QE partial basic regulations, the department coordinates the QM system for the university's field of study and education at various levels and provides monitoring and reporting for the university as a whole.
