In the table on the right the [number] in square brackets is the global rank of that institution for the given subject. Thorough checks are conducted for the top 200 institutions in each subject but where institutions appear for certain countries without a rank, these may not have been checked but are included nonetheless (in grey) for illustrative purposes. It is not unusual for institutions beyond the top couple of hundred to appear in disciplines that they do not operate due to overall reputation lending assumed status or strengths in closely related disciplines.

  • Simelearn – Centre of Excellent Simulation and Elearning
    Centre of Excellent Simulation and eLearning (SIMeLEARN) Importance Healthcare is in constant transition. As new technologies, medical diagnoses, and treatments surge ahead and multiply, so do patients knowledge of their medical history and healthcare developments. Today’s healthcare professionals need expertise about more than just diagnostics and treatment. Social skills to interact with diverse patient groups and their next of kin as well as healthcare professionals’ motivation to commit to life-long learning and teaching are becoming increasingly important. At the same time, healthcare education is moving from the conventional settings of lecture halls to very diverse learning locations and training methods, e.g. using e-learning programmes at home or in simulation centres. By including development and implementation of new and innovative forms of teaching and learning, SIMeLEARN will establish a culture for lifelong learning amongst both students and staff at the University of Stavanger (UiS). Students, teaching staff and healthcare professionals will all significantly expand their experience and increase their competence in the use of simulation and e-learning tools in higher education and clinical practice. SIMeLEARN will thereby provide a robust educational ecosystem for a new generation of healthcare professionals prepared and motivated to tackle the future challenges of a healthcare system in constant transition. Despite patient safety being high on the political agenda in Norway, the adverse event rate has remained at 13-16% for hospitalized patients for the last years 1. Early involvement of teaching staff, and delivery of multiprofessional simulation and e-learning will help us avoid certain pitfalls in the way of safe and effective care for patients, their next of kin, and for the healthcare workforce itself.

  • Web Portals and Internationalisation: a Survey of Norwegian Academic, Research and Special Libraries
    1 World Library and Information Congress: 71th IFLA General Conference and Council "Libraries - A voyage of discovery" August 14th - 18th 2005, Oslo, Norway Conference Programme: http://www.ifla.org/IV/ifla71/Programme.htm juli 13, 2005 Code Number: 158-E Meeting: 136a Quality Issues in Libraries DG Web portals and internationalisation: a survey of Norwegian Academic, Research and Special Libraries Maria-Carme Torras Senior Academic Librarian, University of Bergen Library Robert W. Vaagan Associate Professor, Faculty of Journalism, Library and Information Science, Oslo University College Abstract Norway currently has 362 academic, research and special libraries, most of which have developed web portals to provide a variety of online services to users, including part time and distance education users. While most web portals and most services are provided in Norwegian only, the globalisation forces of the information society are pushing institutions to provide an increasing range of services also in English. Based on an analysis of all 362 libraries and web portals, defined in a broad sense, including three illustrative case studies based on typical case sampling (Patton 2002), the article argues that an increasing amount of information will be made available in English on library web portals, but that the process will stop short of full bilingual provision. 1.

  • Funding Systems and Their Effects on Higher Education Systems
    Funding Systems and Their Effects on Higher Education Systems NATIONAL STUDY – NORWAY November 2006 Nicoline Frølich NIFU STEP – Studies in Innovation, Research and Education Funding Systems and their Effects on Higher Education Systems – Norway Executive Summary In 2002 Norway introduced a new performance-based funding model for higher education in response to growth in the number of students and costs of higher education. The model aims to improve education as measured by the credits and graduates produced, increase research as measured by research publications, and enhance external relevance as measured by external funding. The model is still being developed. Formal explicit links between the fund- ing system and national higher education policies have been established as a result of a re- cent reform in Norwegian higher education (the Quality Reform). The various stakeholders have identified several intended and unintended effects of the funding system on higher education and on the core tasks of teaching and research. Accord- ing to the Ministry of Education and Research, the performance-based funding system will improve the quality of research and higher education, as these are best safeguarded by means of a funding system that emphasises results. The Norwegian Association of Higher Education Institutions (the Rectors’ Conference) has identified several elements in the financing system that contribute to the development of HEIs. Incentives are viewed as a means of encouraging institutions to increase the quality of their educational programmes and research and to implement more structural changes. However, the Rectors’ Conference acknowledges that a funding model with financial rewards could produce unintended effects and advocates monitoring the consequences.

  • Educational Quality in Political Science in Norway Joint Evaluations of Research and Education 2018
    NOKUT’s evaluations Educational quality in political science in Norway Joint evaluations of research and education 2018 NOKUT’s work shall contribute to public confidence in the quality of both Norwegian higher and vocational education, as well as certified higher education from abroad. «NOKUT’s evaluations» are expert assessments describing the state of affairs within academic disciplines and fields, as well as central common aspects of education relevant for different disciplines and fields. We hope that the results will prove useful for higher education institutions in their programme-related quality assurance and development work. Title: Educational quality in political science in Norway Author(s): Chapter 1 Introduction: NOKUT Chapter 2 Political science in Norway: Mari Elken, NIFU Chapter 3 – 12: Expert panel Expert panel: Anne Skorkjær Binderkrantz, Magnus Feldmann, Jonas Hinnfors, Niels van Willigen, Elin Wihborg Date: 18.06.2018 Report number: 2018-1 www.nokut.no Foreword In September 2014, the Norwegian Ministry of Education and Research commissioned the Norwegian Agency for Quality Assurance in Education (NOKUT) and the Research Council of Norway (RCN) to develop a model for joint evaluations of research and education in Norway. NOKUT and RCN took the opportunity of RCN’s planned evaluation of Norwegian social science research to test the model. This resulted in three overlapping sets of evaluations of social sciences in Norway: a research evaluation, an education evaluation, and an evaluation of the interplay between research and education. Together, they form the joint evaluation of research and education. The first aim of the joint evaluation pilot project is to develop a model that will allow NOKUT and RCN to assess the quality of education and research and the link between them in the years to come.
