Report summary
Based on the examined documentation and through interviews with various stakeholder
groups, the group of experts analyzed the operation of the institute and proposed advice
for further improvement of already established quality assurance processes. Great
dedication of employees, high satisfaction of students and plans for further development
were noticed. The new management of the institute has only just begun its work, but it
shows great enthusiasm and desire to achieve the set goals. Some non-compliances were
also detected, unfortunately the smaller number of students and employees at the
institution does not justify non-compliance or partial compliance with the provisions of
certain standards. The Institute thus does not have a document that would enable the
verification of the implementation of the Institute's strategy and its goals. The participation
of non-academic (i.e. non-pedagogical) staff is not foreseen in any body, except for the
secretary of the Institute. Amendments to the statute should ensure the participation of
non-teaching staff and regulate the voting of absent members and bodies. The functioning
of the Academic Council needs to be ensured. The acquisition of the ARRS project and the
36
inclusion of the journal Res novae in one of the scientific bases is commendable. We
recommend applying for scientific projects that will relate to business sciences and law.
The institute should involve students in scientific research even more. In the field of quality
assurance, it is necessary to update the Handbook of Quality Assurance, involve students
in the collection, analysis and planning of measures in the field of monitoring and quality
assurance, introduce a detailed strategic action plan for individual processes, and introduce
improvements and changes. and measures in the field of monitoring and quality assurance,
and consider the introduction of program directors. We would also suggest setting up the
basics of the tutoring system, publishing current news on the faculty's website and
involving students in the preparation of a self-evaluation report. Rules on the functioning
of the Student Council should be prepared, the minutes of the Student Council and other
faculty bodies should be made public, and a commission should be established to resolve
potential cases of discrimination. It would be highly advisable to plan and act somewhat
more ambitiously in order to obtain additional funding from research projects. It is
recommended that the library expands the range of databases of scientific articles and
journals, ensure further updating of scientific and professional literature required for study
and scientific research, and provide mandatory copies of prescribed literature, which is
listed as required literature in subject curricula.
