FACULTIES AND OF THE UNIVERSITY

POSTGRADUATE STUDIES

STUDENT’S EDUCATION MODEL (through mobility)

PRESERVATION OF ENVIRONMENT

8. ESTABLISHMENT OF THE OFFICE FOR

INSTEAD OF A CONCLUSION!!!
• Definition of new curricula is in the final stage
• Insufficient attention is paid to quality assurance
in the studies
• Insufficient attention is paid to the formation of
a communication-information subsystem within the
system of university education on the university
level and beyond
VERY IMPORTANT AND NECESSARY:
setting up a TQM system on the faculty
level (conforming with the ISO)
