If a master’s programme constitutes a natural progression from a bachelor’s programme,
the faculties can opt to present a joint report covering both. In aggregate reports for
bachelor’s and master’s programmes, quantitative data must be calculated separately for
each programme. The University has also made templates for different kinds of single reports.

Follow-up plan if critical conditions are detected.
Analysis of quantitative Is the programme within the quantitative paramand qualitative materi- eters set by the faculty? Have the results of
al (see list below)
 reports by the chairs of external examiners
 course evaluations, including pass rates
 dialogue with employer panels
 graduate employment surveys6
given rise to changes?
Status
What is the current status of the programme and
of student progress? What has happened since
the last report? Follow-up/evaluation of initiatives launched after the previous programme report.
The future, including
follow-up action plan
In which direction is the programme heading? Is
there a need for educational-strategy initiatives,
i.e. interventions in the long term? Follow up on
the most recent action plan7.
Misc.
If any of the criticisms are serious enough to
warrant immediate action, a follow-up plan must
also be drawn up8 and attached to the programme report. If serious problems are identified, closing the programme is one of the options.

Surveys of graduates are conducted every three years, comprising the last three year
groups, but at the earliest one year after graduation. The surveys are by turn included in
the programme evaluation and in the programme report.
7
Action plans are drawn up every six years, after the programme evaluations. The action
plans are long-term, covering a whole six-year period. The programme reports include follow-up on the action plan.
8
Follow-up plans are short-term, and differ from the action plans in that they focus on
ameliorating situations that have arisen suddenly. The action plans focus on the long-term
development perspective.

In aggregate reports for bachelor’s and master’s programmes, quantitative data must be
calculated separately for each programme.

Drop-out rates from bachelor’s programmes are calculated for at least the first year of
the programme (key data F.3.1).
13
Drop-out rates for master’s programmes are calculated for the whole programme (key
data G.1.4).
14
Completion times are calculated on 1 October, and comprise the proportion of students
who have completed their programmes in the prescribed time and the percentage of students who have completed in the prescribed time + one year (key data G).
15
See Note 14.
16
For bachelor’s and master’s programmes, employment figures are calculated as the percentage of unemployed graduates 4th–7th quarter after completing their studies.
17
See Note 16.
18
Calculated as of 1 October as the proportion of student intake on full master’s programmes whose nationality is not Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish, Icelandic or Faroese. The period counted is from 1 October to 30 September (the following year).
19
One semester (= two blocks) is 14 weeks. There are two semesters per year.
