Erasmus Policy Statement (EPS)

Our quotation objectives for the coming years:

The goal is to increase student participation with about 10 each year in the exchange program.

Most of the employees will have participated by 2028.

Quality in academic performance and operations are of paramount importance for FIV. We have a
quality system approved by the Norwegian Agency for Quality Assurance in Education in place. The
principles of this system will be applied in our international activities. This encompasses mandatory
surveys for outgoing and incoming students and staff, the result of these will be applied to plan and
implement quality improving actions. This process will also include identification of relevant quality
indicators that will be regularly monitored and reported on.

Strategy, objectives and impact

FIV is a leader in high quality education that meets the competence needs of the world of work. In the
strategy approved by FIVs owner, Viken County Council, it is clearly stated that FIV shall be further
developed and strengthened through active transnational cooperation with other HEIs.
The programs are continuously adjusted to the demands of the world of work, which are quickly
changing. Joint student and development projects with European and international partners will make
FIV develop further. This will increase the quality of what we do and ensure that the studies are more
updated. At the same time, it will provide new study subjects in collaboration with HEIs abroad.

The school use Problem Based Learning with student projects provided by the business community at
the core. Erasmus projects will give us a great opportunity for students from our country to work with the
industry abroad and vice versa.
