The focus of the audit will be JAMK’s quality system, three degree programmes and one optional target. Two of the degree programmes are decided by JAMK and the third one will be decided by the audit team. The two programmes chosen by JAMK are Logistics Engineering (Bachelor’s Degree Programme) and Entrepreneurship and Business Competence (Master’s Degree Programme). The optional target is Entrepreneurship.

The audit will be carried out 13-15 November 2012 in English and according to FINHEEC’s audit manual (Audit manual for the quality systems of higher education institutions 2011–2017).
