    Report summary

    In the evaluation process, the institution was evaluated according to 17 standards in the procedures for reaccreditation of the institution. We identified advantages in four of the seven standards in the field of operation of the higher education, and opportunities for improvement in all seven standards. In Standard 2, during the first evaluation visit in December 2021, we identified two major shortcomings or inconsistencies related to the composition of the senate and the academic board of the institution, which the institution eliminated until the second evaluation visit in April 2022. In both standards in the field of human resources, we identified advantages and opportunities for improvement, and in standard 6 also a major shortcoming or inconsistency related to the appointment to the title of associate professor, which was eliminated on May 23rd 2022, by the Senate decision. We identified strengths in two of the four student standards and opportunities for improvement in all four. In four standards in the field of material conditions, we found advantages in one standard and opportunities for improvement in two, as well as a major shortcoming or inconsistency in standard 17 (during the first evaluation visit in December 2021), as the library did not provide at least one copy of mandatory study literature for study units of study programs, which the institution eliminated until the second evaluation visit in April 2022. As a very good practice (excellence) we highlight the set system of obtaining information through focus groups in the internal quality system (standard 6), which has already come to life in the field of focus groups with students of all study programs, and such a system is also planned for other stakeholder groups.

    Report summary

    In the evaluation process of the sample of study programs of the institution, we evaluated the study programs Business Informatics (higher education study program) and Management and Informatics (master study program). The study programs were evaluated according to the five standards of Article 23 of the Criteria. For four standards, we identified advantages, such as the fact that within the self-evaluation of study programs, the institution conducts two-year interviews with a focus group of students and graduates; the implementation of the study program is fully adapted to the needs of the part-time student population; student-centered education, both in terms of the way the pedagogical process is carried out and in terms of support services for students, is assessed as very positive; the possibility of obtaining certificates for students and additional courses; a well-designed interactive online classroom, which in addition to study materials also contains news about the activities of the Student Council and a forum through which up-to-date communication between school, teachers and students and a workshop on writing and using learning outcomes for higher education teachers. For all five standards, we identified opportunities for improvement, which are described in the report. For standards 1, we identified one partial shortcoming or inconsistency related to the verification and evaluation of student workloads: immediately after the evaluation visit, the institution addressed this issue regarding the undefined methodology for verifying study workloads in the Institution's Quality Rules and regarding the missing workload analysis in the self-evaluation report - after the visit the institution also changed the Rules of Procedure and the questionnaire and additionally explained that the changed procedure and questionnaire will be used in the next academic year (2022/2023).

    Report summary

    A group of experts has prepared a joint report on the assessment areas from Article 6 of the Criteria for Accreditation and External Evaluation of Higher Education Institutions and Study Programs, specifically the quality standards from Articles 17 and 18 of the Accreditation Criteria. Under standard 4, we identified one strength, namely the commendable organization of documentation and procedures governing hybrid modes of study. Based on the recommendations of the experts, the institution eliminated all the inconsistencies that were initially identified and actively approached the realization of the proposed opportunities for improvement.

Verifiable Credentials

A Verifiable Credential (VC) is a digitally-signed and thus tamper-evident document containing information on a subject (e.g. personal information, entitlements of an individual, degrees held by an individual or accreditation of a higher education institution). Quality assurance results recorded in DEQAR can be downloaded as W3C-compatible Verifiable Credentials.

Currently, two types of credentials can be issued:

EBSI Verifiable Accreditations (VA) can be used by a higher education institution in the context of the EBSI Early Adopters programme.

  • The VA allows the institution to prove its external quality assurance on the Trusted Issuer Registry (TIR). EBSI VAs are only issued for external quality assurance results with an official status in a national system (“part of obligatory EQA system”).
  • At present, the higher education institution’s EBSI DID needs to be communicated to EQAR and recorded in DEQAR manually at the moment. If you are a higher education institution participating in EBSI, please contact us to register your DID.
  • EBSI VAs are issued by EQAR under its DID did:ebsi:zk4bhCepWSYp9RhZkRPiwUL.

DEQAR Format Verifiable Credentials primarily serve as a proof of concept and public demonstrator currently.

  • DEQAR Format VCs are based on the plain W3C Recommendation and our own data model. While they closely follow the EBSI Schema, no EBSI-specific or EU-specific elements or data types are used.
  • The higher education institution is identified by its DEQAR URI in this case.
  • DEQAR Format VCs are issued by EQAR under its DID did:web:data.deqar.eu.

Please note: this is an experimental feature.
