Faculty of Organisation Studies Novo mesto

In the evaluation process, we evaluated the Faculty according to 17 standards in the procedures for reaccreditation of higher education institutions. We have identified strengths in three of the seven standards in the field of operation of higher education institutions, and opportunities for improvement in all seven standards. We have identified major deficiencies or inconsistencies in three standards. In the case of the standard 2, this refers to the great lack of substantive and active involvement of the majority of internal and external stakeholders (except management) in the management and development of the activities of the higher education institution in the years before 2023, in the case of standard 3 to the fact that the institution does not meet the minimum research standards required for doctoral study programs, in terms of research or development or otherwise academically relevant projects obtained in the last five years. In the case of standard 6, we identify three major shortcomings or inconsistencies, which relate to the need to encourage the active substantive participation of stakeholders in self-evaluation processes, to the need to be aware of the importance and role of the internal quality system and quality culture among stakeholders, and to the completion of the quality circle. For both standards in the field of human resources, we identified advantages and opportunities for improvement, for standard 8 and two major shortcomings or inconsistencies regarding the violation of the criteria for appointment to the titles of higher education teachers in one case and the unguaranteed abilities to mentor doctoral students in four cases. We identified strengths in three out of four standards in the area of students, opportunities for improvement in three, and partial fulfillment of quality standards in standard 13. Among the four standards in the field of material conditions, we identify strengths in one, and opportunities for improvement in one.
