    Report summary

    Members of the group of experts for the evaluation of the study program Biomedicine (3. Bologna level) estimate that the study program meets the vast majority of aspects within the individual standards. We identified 22 opportunities for improvement and 2 major shortcomings. The latter include: 1) Defining and unifying the rules for completing doctoral study program at all members within the same study program and 2) Carrying out annual renewal of curricula. The opportunities for improvement in the area of the 1st standard are: a) Adapting student surveys to doctoral studies and their interdisciplinarity and conducting a unified survey for individual core courses, which was already recognized by the Program Council, b) Strengthening the role of professors in the self-evaluation report with their reflection during the implementation program, by updating the content and taking measures to improve the pedagogical process, c) Carrying out periodic interviews with students and doctoral students and including their suggestions/opinions in course updates, d) Involving stakeholders in the environment, employers, as the latter could use their opinion to evaluate the suitability of the graduate's competencies , e) Consider changing the process of preparing the final self-evaluation report with the joint cooperation of member coordinators and a centralized system for accepting changes to the formal conditions of the study program with the aim of unifying them, f) Approach the initiative and competent institutions more actively propose the arrangement of dedicated funding for students who do not have the status of a young researcher and g) Prepare a proposal for concrete incentives for medical specialists with the aim of increasing interest in enrollment and thus the development of the scientific field. In the area of the 2nd standard, we can propose the following improvements: a) Design and implement a protocol for reporting to external stakeholders on the results of selfevaluation, b) Use the questionnaire adapted to students of the doctoral study of Biomedicine in practice, c) Organize and obligatorily document regular meetings of the student representative in the student body council with representatives of students of the academic year with the aim of exchanging opinions and positions and better information, d) Encourage the active involvement of external stakeholders to provide proposals and opinions for the design of measures that will improve the implementation and contents of the study program and e) Ensure an effective the quality loop. Regarding the 3rd standard, we suggest increasing the engagement of foreign lecturers in the implementation of the program, student mentors and members of committees for the confirmation of doctoral theses. Regarding the 4th standard, we have identified eight additional opportunities for improvement: a) Consider the possibility of implementing common core courses (introduction to research work, statistical analysis, ethics), which will be common to all students of the doctoral study of Biomedicine, b) Examine the similarity of the content in the implementation of basic subjects at the undergraduate and postgraduate level, c) The activity of updating the contents of the curricula should include the updating of basic learning resources, d) The updating of the competencies listed in the curricula with advanced synthesis competencies, so that they correspond to the level of doctoral education, e) The acquisition of written consent of students to take study courses in English, stating that students have the legal right to listen to the course in Slovenian, f) Unification of the appearance and structure of e-classrooms for all courses with the aim of better transparency and homogeneity of content, g) It is necessary to update the basic study material, which is suitable for the level of study, as well as the preparation of 31 appropriate content in e-classrooms, which will provide students with directions for appropriate study and h) Evaluating competences acquired by doctoral students during the co-implementation of courses with specialists and doctoral students. In the case of the 5th standard, we see as opportunities for improvement: a) Concern for ensuring equal opportunities for students to be involved in research work within the study program, regardless of the student's status as a young researcher or a part-time student pursuing doctoral studies while working outside academic institutions, and b ) Updating the website in such a way that it is intuitively structured with the aim of more transparent content for obtaining information about progression between years and, above all, completion of the study program.

    Report summary

    The Faculty of Theology of the University of Ljubljana has proposed for accreditation the study programme Human and Interpersonal Relationships. The study programme is a redesigned program of the existing first cycle Bachelor's degree programme in Theological and Religious Studies. The programme has two study courses: Theological and Religious Studies and Marital and family therapy and counselling. The professional titles, depending on the field of study completed, are: Bachelor of Theological and Religious Studies (UN) and Bachelor of Family Counselling (UN). Bachelor's degree programme in Human and Interpersonal Relationships with a new study course Marital and Family Therapy and Counselling fills a gap in the study programme offer and provides the opportunity to acquire the necessary knowledge and skills to successful study in the second cycle of the Master's degree programme in Marital and Family Studies, which is already offered at the Faculty of Theology. The expert group highlighted three strengths and three opportunities.

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.
