There are many ways in which to strengthen research and give it a higher profile - during recent years, for example, the Faculty has been successful in increasing the number of professorships. Our research work in the fields of national economics, political science, and psychology has been officially evaluated in recent years, with good results. The Faculty's researchers have also proven themselves extremely adept at competing for external research funds. Courses of study Law students engaged in group work. Bachelor's and Master's degree courses are offered by the Board of Studies of each department.
Much emphasis is placed on courses being based to the greatest possible extent on relevant research.
It is also considered important that course evaluation is an ongoing activity. As well as these internal evaluations, externally defined evaluations are also used, and these also contribute to courses being subjected to a form of quality assurance and adjusted as necessary. Both internal and external evaluations and the fact that excellent job opportunities are available to masters' graduates show that the courses of study at the Faculty live up to the goal of offering a high level of academic expertise that is recognised by the business world. Some departments have experienced difficulties in attracting sufficient numbers of external teaching staff, and in the long term teaching and research at the Faculty can only be strengthened still further through the employment of more full-time researchers and lecturers. The number of PhD students has been increased to a constant level of about 90, and this form of study is taking on ever-increasing importance for the competitive recruitment of new researchers and lecturers.
