GAGA is a group responsible for undergraduate and graduate education. The group is led by the Director of Studies for the first and second cycle, who is also the convener. The other members are the program coordinator, the home and consumer studies coordinator (if there is one), the pedagogical coordinator (if there is one), two teacher representatives (for first and second cycle) and two student representatives (one for each program). The group prepares issues regarding programs and courses that are then decided by the faculty board and the department board. The group also deals with issues such as the possibility of co-teaching and collaboration between different programs and courses. Various pedagogical issues, as well as needs for competence development, can be initiated by the group. Furthermore, progression, forms of examination, course literature, subject didactics as well as the quality and content of the education are other examples of issues that the group will work on together. The intention is for the group to have an overview of the department's various courses and programs and thus be able to work together on various aspects of quality and pedagogy. Study social issues and other matters relating to education at undergraduate and graduate level can also be dealt with in the group, e.g. whether teaching work should be organized in teaching teams. A student from the dietary science program and a student from the dietician program are requested.
