The basic unit of quality management at TU Dresden is the study programme, which is usually evaluated every five years (or later every seven years) within the framework of the university's internal quality management. Various actors and committees are involved in the process of programme evaluation and accreditation, each of which has different tasks and responsibilities. For example, a Centre for Quality Analysis (ZQA) was set up specifically to carry out the quality analysis. In addition, a working group Q was founded, which was significantly involved in the conception of the QM system and is today responsible for its further development and improvement.
