C 2.2-3 Quality work at Copenhagen Business School – how to create a university quality culture
   
Name C 2.2-3 Quality work at Copenhagen Business School – how to create a university quality culture
Description Author: Claus Nygaard, Bente Kristensen

Copenhagen Business School (CBS) demonstrates its capacity for change through the development as a learning university. The term originates from the combination of the classic notion of the university as a forum for learning and knowledge and the modern concept of ‘the learning organisation’ and is today one of the strategic priorities of CBS. CBS began its long journey of development as a learning university with continuous quality improvement and the creation of a quality culture in the mid- 1990s. In the early 1990s one might characterise CBS as a teacher-led, didactic institution in which students had very high numbers of lectures a week with little in the way of interactive sessions; student- centred learning was not significant part of the learning process. The institution was also scattered around the city, in buildings many of which were not originally designed as learning environments and there was no noticeable student learning community. Over the last 15 years this has completely changed, yet there is no intention for the university to consider the ‘job done’. Continuous quality improvement adopting e.g. to the requirements of the Bologna Declaration about setting up learning outcomes for all study programmes strengthening the transparency and the employability of the graduates of CBS is still at the core of the quality work of the study boards at CBS. CBS has learned and continues to learn from experience both internally and externally. The challenge with being a learning university is that it is a status that has constantly to be earned.
