IQAS at Faculty of International Economic Relations

The system for quality assurance at Faculty is a means to improve the results of our activities. Quality is assured by making sure our activities are goal-oriented (managed by objectives), by evaluating our results and by quality checks. The Faculty will try to create the environment in which the students, lectures and associates could realize their professional interests and advance their knowledge and every effort in the direction of quality provision.

• It satisfies the quality assurance requirements of the University and any external quality assurance agency which the University must satisfy;
• Quality assurance system has a student focus;
• The system itself is kept under review;
• It is supportive and assist students and staff;
• It is ‘open’ and well documented, with information easily available to staff, who can participate fully and receive extensive feedback;
• It is based on the principle that each member of staff is responsible for his work.
