Centres of Excellence in Higher Education

Since 2007, Swedish higher education institutions have been invited by the University Chancellor to nominate departments, study programmes or other units for the award of: Centre of Excellence in Higher Education. The award is however not included in the new quality assurance system that started in 2011.

This annual award was an incentive for educational units that had already reached a high standard to improve even further. It was also a way of highlighting good practice and stimulating the raising of standards elsewhere.

The nominations were processed by Högskoleverket (Swedish National Agency for Higher Education). An assessment panel was appointed that included subject experts from other countries. The assessment panel presented a report of its findings and the Swedish National Agency for Higher Education made the final decision.
