Summary
Report summary
University of Primorska is the third state university in Slovenia and at the same time also the smallest one. It was established in year 2003 when some independent colleges and research centres that already existed in the region merged under a common organisational structure. This historical background is in part still reflected in the procedures, governance and management of the University and its members. However, the structure in the last accreditation period has been changed significantly, as an important founding part of the University - The Science and Research Centre (ZRS) become independent again. A few years after that decision, the University has overcome a drop in research staff and results that was inevitably related to this decision. At the same time, the University is now more financially stable and ready for new partnerships, such as recently established cooperation with the State University Lomonosov from Moscow. The orientation of the University towards internationalisation is one of the mainstream goals also for the future. The University is very appreciatively accepted in the region, where some new buildings are on disposal for its further development. Moreover, the study process is also performed in some more distant cities across Slovenia, where the presence of the University with some niche study programs is also appreciated. University of Primorska is a small university where good and open collaboration between the students and administrative staff as well as a direct and genuine contact between the teaching staff and the students is something natural and as such, a great advantage for all parties. The students are coming not only from the coast region but also from other parts of Slovenia and abroad. Their activities and the University as a whole represent a strong benefit to the region and local community. To enhance this impact more student dormitories will need to be provided, especially because the region is also very popular touristic place. -

Summary
Report summary
The programme entitled " SPECIAL PEDAGOGICAL TRAINING FOR TEACHERS OF CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEED" was adopted by the Senate of the University of Primorska on 20 April 2022. The programme is intended to provide basic theoretical and practical knowledge in the field of identifying the characteristics and needs of and working with children with special needs: children with emotional and behavioural problems or disorders, gifted and talented children, long-term or chronically ill, hearing-impaired and deaf children, children with communication and speech-language disorders, physically handicapped children, children with autism, children with blindness and visual impairment. The focus of the study is planned on improving theoretical and practical skills to identify and work with children with special needs, to design and implement individualised programmes and to develop a deeper understanding of inclusion and lifelong learning. The proposed study programme will train participants to meet the challenges in a field that is highly relevant in society and contribute to professional competence in working with children with special needs and inclusive education. The proposed programme is a response to the real needs of society and education. The training needs are supported with actual research findings and demonstrate a serious shortage of staff with competences for working with children with special needs at all levels of education. The Faculty of Education of the University of Primorska is well integrated into the environment and has a wide network of partner organisations for practical training throughout Slovenia. The curriculum supports the objectives and competences of the programme, and the standard forms of study are indicated in the curricula. The programme consists of 13 compulsory subjects and two elective subjects, which participants can choose from five elective subjects. The practical training consists of 15 credits (Practical Training 6 and Integrated Practice 9). The subjects are horizontally linked because they are different in terms of their core content (subject matter). Opportunities for improvement are to align the number of credits. The envisaged higher education teachers have the appropriate habilitations, and all but one is employed by the Faculty of Education. They are involved in several research and applied projects. The material conditions for implementation are adequate. The implementation is planned to take place at the home institution and at seven outposts in Slovenia. Entry requirements and criteria for recognition of skills are defined. Students may be awarded up to 20 % of the credits of the programme. A variety of methods are provided for the assessment of knowledge to monitor own progress and the achievement of learning outcomes and competences. Completion is conditional on the completion of the requirements in all subjects. Upon successful completion of the requirements in all subjects, participants will not be awarded a professional title but a certificate of completion. -

Summary
Report summary
The university study program Tourism and both higher education professional programs Tourism Destination Management and Tourism Enterprise Management are carried out at the Faculty of Tourism Studies (Turistica), which is a member of UP and is active in the area where tourism is almost at home. There is no doubt about the interest in such studies in the region and beyond. The strong links between students and employers, the exemplary cooperation of the Faculty with external stakeholders and the administrative regulation of practical training are commendable. Special attention should be paid to the systematic guidance of students through individual work in order to obtain a competent model of the graduate. We strongly recommend improving the process of preparing and writing self-evaluation reports, actively involving students and the Alumni Club, and presenting the results to all interested parties. The QA Commission should have its place on the faculty websites as a space for publishing quality related documents and results of evaluations. The implementation of recommendations based on the self-evaluation of study programs is less obvious from the self-evaluation reports. Greater emphasis must therefore be placed on the action plan to close the quality loop. The preparation and updating of study programs is mainly related to increasing the number of graduates and enrolment rates. The Faculty also uses other mechanisms to promote study programs. In order to achieve excellence in the quality of teaching, more time should be invested in the education and training of university teachers to make use of modern, innovative forms of teaching, as students have also stressed. This is also the reason why the faculty must ensure adequate material conditions in terms of up-to-date computer hardware and Internet access for the students. Guidelines for mentors in practical training and examples of good practice for other study programs. Good vertical and horizontal links between the Faculty and the University enable good project and research work, which is commendable. The relationship between students and teachers is also exemplary. -

Summary
Report summary
The PhD program in Conservation Biology (3rd level, 4 years, 240 ECTS) is a program that focuses on one of the most important issues facing humanity today, i.e. the habitat degradation, and biodiversity loss due to the negative impacts of human activities. The Conservation Biology PhD program includes mandatory biological, methodological, and content courses that enable students to acquire knowledge or skills for independent work (research or application) in the field of conservation of species and their habitats. The program is structured in form and content according to the legislation. Emphasis is placed on students' individual research work. The curriculum is designed to meet the set objectives and enable the achievement of the expected competences (both general and subject-specific). The premises and equipment are suitable for the implementation of the study program. Since this is the first accreditation of the study program, the personnel composition is not yet complete and will continue to change. A group of experts recommends full-time employment of the higher number of teachers at FAMNIT. Finally, as an expert group, we would like to point out the sloppy preparation of the application for accreditation of the study program and the very large number of inconsistencies in the application itself. The inconsistencies can be found both in the naming of courses and in the information about the scientific excellence of the course holders and doctoral students’ mentors (various statements in the application and in the appendices). In the final response to the expert report, the applicant has corrected all the mentioned irregularities. -
