6.2. RESULTS OF EMPLOYERS’ SURVEYS
As this study program has not had graduates yet, employers’ survey about the realization
of the professional bachelor study program “Business Administration” will be organized during
the students professional practice. According to the plan the survey will be organized in spring,
2008.
7. STUDENTS
7.1. Number of students in the program
The realization of the study program was started in September 2004. The study program
is implemented as full-time studies (on 01.01.2008. the program has 105 full-time students,
int.al. 1st year - 57 students, 2nd year - 33 students, 3rd year – 11 students and 4th year – 4
students) and part-time studies (on 01.01.2008. the program has 117 part-time students, int.al. 1st
year - 51 student, 2nd year - 37 students, 3rd year – 17 students and 4th year – 12 students). Small
number of 3rd and 4th year students could be explained by the fact that the program was licenced,
but not accredited when its implementation was started. According to the data obtained in
survey, students do not have high reliability to the licensed, but not accredited programs. After
accreditation the number matriculated students increased rapidly both in full-time and part-time
studies.
24
7. 2. Number of the 1st year students
In the academic year 2007/2008 the number of matriculated 1st year students in the 2nd
level professional higher education bachelor study program "Business Administration" by
specializations is as follows:
1. Marketing sector manager – 33 students (19 full-time students, 14 part-time students).
2. Commercial services sector manager – 31 student (14 full-time students, 17 part-time
students).
3. Tourism company manager– 45 students (28 full-time students, 17 part-time students).
The interest in the studies in the specialization “Manager of Company Legal Sector”
shown during admission is the reason for including this specialization in the study program.
7. 3. Students’ surveys and their analysis
In the survey of the students being conducted in the end of the academic year, there are
included questions containing the indicators determining respondents’ loyalty towards the
educational institution and study program. As an indicator for determining the degree of loyalty
there was used respondents’ desire to advise their closest people— colleagues, acquaintances—
enter RA and choose the study program they have graduated from. (“Would you advise RHEI
study program to your colleagues, acquiantances who next year would like to enter some higher
education institution?). All gave a confirming answer (“Yes, of course.” or “Yes, perhaps.”).
RA regularly conducts students’ surveys in order to find out students’ opinion regarding
various issues (see the questionnaire in Appendix 5). At the end of each semester there is
conducted a survey in order to find out students’ opinion about the quality of offered subjects,
the quality of teaching, academic staff’s attitude towards students, loyalty towards RA. This
survey is a feedback and evaluation of the study process. The results of surveys are reviewed in
the meetings of the departments. Thus, as regards the evaluation of studies in the communication
“students-academic staff”, the feedback is established. Therefore, it is possible to draw detailed
and constructive conclusions helping to improve the quality of a course as well as teaching
methods.
The academic staff also conducts students' surveys within their study courses.
7. 4. Participation of students in improvement of the study process
Regulations of RA foresee participation of students in collegial decision-making
authorities: Credits Provision Commission; the Council of the Faculty; the Senate, the
25
Consitutional Assembly. It assures students’ active participation in all issues related to the study
process, contents, organization and extra curricular work.
RA Students Self-government and Self-government of the Faculty of Economics are very
active. Students participate actively in the events organized by the faculty, their organization as
well as solving various student-oriented problems.
Students surveys are carried out every year to evaluate quality of the studies. The data of
surveys are summarized, analyzed and taken into account in improvement of the study process,
attitude towards students, discipline at the workplace, management effectiveness, etc. The issues
on the quality of the study process are analysed during the meetings of the department and
Council of the Faculty, where students also participate. Students participate actively in
evaluation of studies quality and give their proposals on improvement of the quality.
Students actively participate in distribution of information about studies in RA – in
education fairs and information days at the Faculty and in regional educational establishments.
