5. WUR’s view on Quality
▪ The quality culture of our university is characterised by four
important values:
● the course coordinator is the main actor in the quality of
education;
● students are seen as co-owners of education and can
contribute equally;
● we stimulate bottom-up initiative and
● strive to involve the whole community in quality
assessment.

6. WUR’s PDCA cycles
▪ at the course level, where the lecturers have the
greatest responsibility;
▪ at the programme level, which is a fine-tuned
combined action between the Programme Board
and the Programme Committees;
▪ at the institutional level, where the Executive
Board, the Dean of Education and the Programme
Board play an important role.

The quality system consists of multiple coherent PDCA-cycles at various levels, in
various time schedules and many actors. The most important cycles are these:
