External expertise is integrated into activities at the Department of Veterinary Medicine with the aim of supporting development and further development of academic programs. It is an additional tool used to supplement the quality assurance implemented in studies and teaching activities. This expertise is solicited through the regular involvement of external experts. This takes place for the different degree programs either within the context of a Peer Consultation with external specialists or through an EAEVE peer review process. Which form of external expertise is intended for the relevant degree programs at the Department of Veterinary Medicine can be seen from the roadmap on the integration of external expertise at the Department of Veterinary Medicine.
