UL accreditation and external evaluations of study programmes

With the aim of ensuring and promoting quality, University of Ljubljana (UL) cooperates in the processes of national and international institutional and programme accreditations and evaluations. Cooperation in procedures for accreditation and evaluation in the form of annual reports and one-off studies is monitored by the UL Quality Assurance Office. Procedures take place at two levels, namely at the level of the study program and at the level of the entire University. At the level of the study program, an evaluation of a sample of study programmes is carried out every year and every five years in the process of extending the accreditation of the University.

The purpose of these evaluations is to advise the University in developing self-evaluation of study programmes and improving quality. The sample of the evaluation of study programmes is determined by the Council of the Slovenian Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (SQAA).

The process of renewing the accreditation of a university is intended for a comprehensive assessment of the university in the period since the last renewal of its accreditation. Progress and development of all areas are assessed, with an emphasis on the internal quality system. A self-evaluation report prepared by the university prior to the SQAA visit represents the basis for this assessment. The report contains an evaluation of all university's activities with an emphasis on the internal quality assurance of the institution.
