Project description

With increasing autonomy of Higher Education institutions and the growing internationalisation and competition among universities, quality assurance has become one of the key words of modern university management. Teaching evaluation, accreditation, ranking and peer review are some of the techniques leading HE institutions use in order to continuously develop themselves.

The project at hand aims at creating a network of four Quality Assurance centres in Podgorica, at the coast and in inland Montenegro. These centres will be provided with the necessary funds and equipment. Six staff members will be trained as QA experts. To assure that QA becomes a crucial part of the University of Montenegro, awareness-raising will be realized among the academic staff.
