Presentation Transcript

  1. User perspectives on rankings/ U-Multirank Karina Ufert European Students’ Union, Chairperson Rankings and the Visibility of Quality Outcomes in the EHEA 2013-01-30 Dublin, Ireland

  2. 30+ years of ESU: Established in 1982 47 National unions in 38 countries (EHEA) … with a fixed seat around the table in all Bologna-gatherings and EU stakeholder meetings Official partner to the Council of Europe, UNESCO, OECD, Education International and other

  3. High quality student-centred for all with academic freedom Higher Education an opportunity to be mobile with student participation in a society where education is both a public good and a public responsibility

  4. ESU’s policy on rankings • ESU strongly opposes traditional rankings • Using a list of mainly quantitative indicators to develop rankings and classification does not reflect the quality of an HEI • Rankings put pressure on HEIs to perform in a reputation race chasing criteria instead of focusing on their broader mission, and thereby overlooking quality

  5. However, “information is king” • Students require truly relevant information for their study choices! • Future for student centered transparency tools?

  6. Group exercise: Please divide in 3 groups to discuss: • Group A: Purpose of multidimensional transparency tools from students’ perspective • Group B: Criteria and indicators for the “student-friendly” transparency tools • Group C: Opportunities and threats of implementing multidimensional transparency tools 20 min discussion in the groups and reporting back (please assign a rapporteur)

  7. Thank you! Karina Ufert European Students’ Union, Chairperson www.esu-online.org karina@esu-online.org
