    Report summary

    The evaluated doctoral study program Chemical Sciences educates well trained experts in the fields of chemistry, chemical engineering and biochemistry, who are highly employable, and their employment in industry represents an important link with the faculty for future collaboration and research. Good research infrastructure is available and additional research infrastructure and equipment is available at participating research institutes and within international networks. The student-centered approach of teaching enables tailoring the study contents to the needs of students with regards to their stream of study and the subject of their dissertations. Doctoral dissertations were in general found of good or high quality and students as well as their mentors are active in publishing their research result in international journals. Academic staff was found highly motivated despite mentioned overload which arises from teaching duties, but also from administrative work. This arises in part also from some procedures, which appear overregulated, such as for example selection and approval of the doctoral dissertation topic. Administrative staff was found very supportive in assiting students during their study as well as in supoorting academic staff in their work. One of the weaknesses of the self evaluations of the program, which are carried out on anual basis, is the small number of students participating in annual questionnaires, which also complicates the retrieval of students' satisfaction with the program. No formal engagement of stakeholders in the evaluation process has been notified. Study program changes are made individually but not comprehensively monitored by the internal quality assurance system at the level of the institution. Furthermore, monitoring of changes is not documented. This results in several opportunities for improvement and even in one non-compliance, which needs to be addressed and overcome. The group of experts has particularly exposed: - no participation of stakeholder other than academic staff in adopting measures for improvement of the program or in monitoring their implementation. - inadequate informing of stakeholders from outside the institution, who as a consequence do not provide feedback needed for improvement of the content, structure and delivery of the study programme, - students are not actively engaged in actual preparation of self evaluation reports. This leaves the quality loop not completely closed, since there is no feedback to or from all stakeholders assured. Students and stakeholders outside the institution are not engaged in actual preparation of self evaluation reports. In the self evaluation reports the opinion of students is not considered statistically relevant and therefore not taken as the basis for taking the measures leading to improvements. In addition: - no clear statement is made in the admission criteria that students need to present a draft of a doctoral research proposal and a supervisor for this proposal before their admission, - no quantitative indicators for reaching specific goals arising from self-evaluation reports, and no time deadlines are specified, - study program changes are made individually but not comprehensively monitored by the internal quality assurance system at the level of the institution. No effective actions are taken to update the changes in course syllabi or improve the study program based on the needs of the stakeholders outside university. These actions, which by themselves represent important improvements, should in addition include rather opportunities for improvement suggested by the group of experts in their report.

    Report summary

    In the final report of the sample evaluation of the study programme Kinesiology, Level 3, the members of the NAKVIS team of experts conclude that the Faculty of Sport of the University of Ljubljana meets the quality standards, as no non-compliance with the quality standards and no major shortcomings or inconsistencies have been identified. A total of 20 opportunities for improvement of the quality standards were identified. In area Standard 1, the NAKVIS Expert Group suggests the following opportunities for improvement: a) Constructive approach to the preparation of the self-evaluation of the study programme with a goal-oriented approach - to obtain answers to the questions on how the faculty should change its study programmes; b) Strengthen the role of professors in the self-evaluation report by reflecting on their programme delivery, updating the content and taking measures to improve the pedagogical process; c) Carrying out periodic interviews with students and doctoral students thus ensuring the inclusion of their suggestions/opinions in course updates; d) Conducting periodic interviews with PhD 26 students and graduates and incorporate their suggestions/opinions in the updating of courses; e) Involving external stakeholders, employers, as they could evaluate the relevance of the graduate's competences with their opinion; and f) Enhancing the awareness of the importance and usefulness of the results of the self-evaluation report in the activities of change and updating of the study programmes. Opportunities for improvement in the area of Standard 2 are: a) To improve the preparation of the self-evaluation report of the study programme so that it becomes a clear starting point for proposing actions, implementing the tasks and, consequently, evaluating the implementation; b) Sistematically implement action plan measuresin a way that it introduces the person responsible for implementation of a certain mesure, its time frame of delivery, as well as a periodic check of the achievement of the objectives within a cycle; and c) To encourage the active and constructive participation of all stakeholders in the formulation of the action plan, its implementation and evaluation. With regard to Standard 3, the NAKVIS Expert Group identified two opportunities for improvement: a) to develop a conceptual framework for the curriculum which serves as the basis for introduction of elective courses thus ensuring horizontal and vertical coherence of the curriculum and b) Strengthen social sciences and humanities research content. The following opportunities for improvement are suggested for Standard 4: a) Targeted introduction of science and research communication content (development of research articles, obtaining research funding, communication of research findings) into the regular curriculum; b) Re-evaluate the delivery of the core methodology course and identify ways to adequately prepare students for research in kinesiology; c) Plan the development of content-based elective modules to reduce the dispersion of elective content; d) Better link the competences of the study programme with the subject-specific competences of the individual curriculum; e) Update the recommended literature for each curriculum and refresh or revise the literature periodically; f) Systematically regulate the conditions for funding doctoral projects; and g) Implement procedures to enable early decisions on the topic of the doctoral dissertation and focused study. The NAKVIS Expert Group on Standard 5 identifies the following opportunities for improvement: a) In each curriculum define f the share of each requirement contributing to the final grade thus the equal treatment of students is ensured; b) Sistematically ensure finantial funding of the publication of scientific article required for the completion of the doctoral study programme; and c) Increase and ensure student awarness on the possibility of using research software within the UL.
    In the final report of the sample evaluation of the study programme Kinesiology, Level 3, the members of the NAKVIS team of experts conclude that the Faculty of Sport of the University of Ljubljana meets the quality standards, as no non-compliance with the quality standards and no major shortcomings or inconsistencies have been identified.

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.
