Report summary
The institution regularly and appropriately evaluates and updates the content, composition
and implementation of all study programs that have been the subject of external
evaluation. In this way, it continuously develops programs and maintains their relevance.
A large amount of data collected contributes to this, with a well-developed information
infrastructure being of great help. Stakeholders are properly involved in the self-evaluation
process and are informed about the results in an appropriate way, but an even more
proactive stakeholder approach would be useful. All data collected indicate the existence
and effective functioning of the quality circle. Despite the adaptations, the programs are
complete in terms of content and composition, and the contents are connected along the
horizontal and vertical axes. In all programs, the institution takes care of the compliance
of the objectives and competencies of the syllabus with the basic objectives and
competencies of the study program. However, greater differentiation is needed between
the two study programs at the first level of study. The institution is implementing a number
of projects, but more attention should be paid to more prestigious international research
programs. Teaching methods are adapted to different groups of students and higher
54
education teachers. The number of contact hours performed is appropriate. The work and
involvement of students in scientific, professional, research projects is appropriate and
varies according to the level of study. Practical education is properly organized and
implemented, to the satisfaction of both students and mentors. Informing of students is
timely and effective. All higher education teachers involved in the implementation of the
study programes have relevant references and habilitation. The programs are implemented
within the appropriate infrastructure. However, we would suggest hiring a librarian with a
library education who will be able to provide a more appropriate service to very different
groups of users. The institution effectively ensures the protection of the rights of
stakeholders in the study process. It enables employees to enjoy academic autonomy and
develop their career path. Stakeholders are duly informed.
