Report summary
The Business Science III study program enables graduates to obtain the title of Doctor of
Science. The institute has excellent spatial capacities, which are not used for this program.
Due to the small number of enrolled students, education is carried out mainly through
consultations, mostly online. Students express satisfaction with the study, work and
responsiveness of employees and the conditions of study. The fact is that the study does
not allow the classical form of study, by exchanging experiences and gaining in-depth
knowledge in the field, but is aimed solely at helping students to write a doctoral
dissertation. Students enrol mainly in the second year of study. Literature prescribed in
the subjects’ curricula is mostly obsolete, not present in the library of the institute, even
with a mandatory copy. The lecturers are contractual collaborators, not all mentors meet
the minimum research criteria. The study program is not updated, student surveys are not
conducted, and obtaining information for a self-evaluation report is inconsistent. However,
formal data collected (e.g. number of students enrolled, pass rate, etc.), are not used in
analyses aimed at improving the quality of the study process. The quality circle for this
study program is not closed. There is a lack of action plans that would lead to the
development of the study program based on the identified shortcomings and irregularities.
Study program promotion activities are not planned or implemented. Due to inadequate
financial construction (which they do not know how to calculate), their studies do not pay
off, so they reject potential candidates. The institute maintains the study program only
because of the better reputation of the institution, because it seems that they offer the
entire vertical in the field of study.
