The Faculty of Humanities of the University of Primorska adheres to the provisions of the Criteria for the Monitoring, Assessment and Assurance of the Quality of Higher Education Institutions, Study Programmes, and Scientific Research, Artistic and Professional Work (Official Gazette of the Republic of Slovenia, No. 124/2004).

The Faculty monitors the quality of the implementation of the study process in accordance with Articles 70 and 71 of the Rules on the Organisation and Operation of UP FHŠ, as well as in accordance with the UP Evaluation Rules, the Rules on the Implementation of the Student Survey at UP, and the Rules on the Implementation of the Employee Satisfaction Survey at UP.

In this area, pursuant to Article 70 of the Rules on the Organisation and Operation of the Faculty of Humanities Koper, the UP FHŠ Quality Assurance Committee operates at the Faculty. The Committee consists of five members: four from among higher education teachers, researchers, and higher education or research associates, and one student representative.

The Faculty monitors the satisfaction of students and staff every year. To this end, surveys are conducted among students and staff using the Higher Education Information System. Based on the results, the Committee prepares regular reports and makes recommendations for improvements in the teaching process and the working environment at UP FHŠ.

The Faculty also annually adopts self-evaluation and annual reports. Self-evaluation is one of the most important instruments of the quality assurance system of higher education institutions. It is a process of “defining, collecting, and analysing qualitative (staff self-assessments and user opinions) and quantitative (factual) information, which leads to decisions on planned (or possible) modifications, improvements, and the continuation of the objectives of a study or research programme or the higher education institution. Self-evaluation provides higher education institutions with a framework for developing their own definition of quality, helps them assess the achievements of their mission and strategic objectives, and enables them to prepare an action plan for further work. Through self-evaluation, higher education institutions reconsider their goals, as well as the methods and scope of achieving them.”

Self-evaluation reports are published on the “Key documents” subpage.
