The university has established a system of continuous monitoring and periodic review to ensure the quality of academic programs. The main purpose of this system is to evaluate program effectiveness, eliminate identified shortcomings, and continuously enhance the quality of education.
To assess the effectiveness of academic programs and ensure their continuous improvement, the university has implemented a regular monitoring system. Monitoring is carried out in the following key areas:
Student performance: grade dynamics, course completion rates, credit accumulation indicators, and dropout statistics;
Student satisfaction level: students’ perceptions of the learning process based on anonymous end-of-semester surveys;
Graduate labor market outcomes: employment rates, speed of job placement, and employer feedback;
Academic workload and planning: volume of contact hours, module workload, and distribution of internships and traineeships;
Faculty performance: student evaluations, research activities, publications, and professional development indicators;
Adequacy of resources: availability of library holdings, laboratory equipment, and the condition of IT infrastructure.
The results of this monitoring are analyzed and serve as a basis for decisions on updating academic programs, optimizing resources, and improving the quality of education.
To ensure the quality and relevance of academic programs, the university conducts a comprehensive review of each program every 3–5 years. This process is comprehensive and includes the following stages:
Stakeholder involvement: students, graduates, employers, industry specialists, and external experts are actively involved in the process;
Regulatory alignment: program content is updated in line with the National Qualifications Framework (NQF), the European Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the European Higher Education Area (ESG), other relevant international standards, and labor market needs;
Content revisions: decisions are made on introducing new courses and modules, removing outdated or irrelevant modules, and optimizing credit volumes;
Final approval: the updated program is approved by the relevant faculty and university councils.
This periodic review mechanism ensures that academic programs remain high-quality, flexible, and responsive to labor market requirements.
The results of academic program monitoring are consolidated annually and presented in an annual quality report. This report serves as a key source for decision-making related to the evaluation and further development of educational quality.
Faculty-level presentation: at the end of each academic year, a detailed presentation on program effectiveness is delivered at the faculty council;
Action Plan: based on the review results, a clear action plan is developed to improve program content, teaching methods, and resource optimization;
Evaluation in the next monitoring cycle: the effectiveness and impact of implemented changes are reassessed during the subsequent monitoring cycle.
This mechanism supports continuous improvement of program quality, evidence-based decision-making, and ongoing performance control.
To continuously enhance and modernize academic programs, the university applies the following improvement mechanisms:
Changes based on student and employer feedback: prompt and effective updates to program content are made based on collected feedback and recommendations;
Recommendations of academic and methodological councils: interim adjustments to curricula are introduced based on recommendations from faculty- and university-level academic and methodological councils;
Implementation of innovative pedagogical technologies: modern teaching methods, digital resources, and new assessment approaches are integrated into academic programs.
These mechanisms ensure the continuous updating of academic programs, their alignment with student needs, and the ongoing improvement of educational quality.
