1.2. Domain Specific Demands
Educational objectives and learning outcomes are aligned with the European Qualification Framework and BH Qualification Framework. Level descriptors used in these frameworks are translated into program- specific outcomes appropriate for the levels six to eight and do relate to knowledge, skills and competences (even though in this report only 1st and 2nd cycles are evaluated). All the generic descriptors were used and appropriately developed in this study program. The cycle structure is implemented and all the existing legal requirements have been fully met, namely duration of studies, the number of ECTS, ECTS value, etc. IUS regulations were fully observed, too. Apart from the alignment with Law and IUS regulations, the study program is also aligned with other relevant Bologna process documents, policies and guidelines. It is also relevant to mention that the international dimension was taken into account, evident from the reference points used and experts who prepared and/or were consulted during the study program creation.
In the First Study Cycle enrolled MAN students, graduate in four stages, taking the University courses, faculty courses, program courses and courses of specialization. The main reason for introducing a number of main subjects on the basis of University courses is to familiarize students with a broad range of scientific areas, in order to develop an interdisciplinary approach. During the first year of study our students are also required to take non-credit courses, such as: Bosnian or Turkish spoken languages that significantly help in achieving the cultural ties between the Bosnian and Herzegovinian and Turkish students. In addition, students work in teams and try to make a contribution to their education and society through unique projects. During the second year, students generally continue their studies with subjects consisting of: microeconomics, macroeconomics, Balkan issues, financial accounting, marketing probability and statistics, constitutional law, business finance, EU systems, international political economy, etc.
Similarly, as their colleagues in the first year of studies at the university level, the students of the second year will be able to choose different courses from different areas and on the basis that they can
International University of Sarajevo Study program self-evaluation report 2Q13 choose. In the third year, students take courses from their departments, and the fourth year will continue to study the program aimed subjects and further specialization through elective courses.
The basic, fundamental and elective courses at IUS will help students gain a good knowledge of the society, organizations and the strategic management. During their studies, the students of management study program (MAN) will be able to gain basic skills in: risk management, strategic analysis, marketing, managing supply chains, investments, managerial accounting, business and other related topics, which will help them to 9 compete in the global business arena. After studying these courses students will be capable of analyzing the present, anticipating and predicting the future, while also being part of the solution of current problems in their countries. This study program at the IUS aims to educate and enable students to become competitive in the constantly changing and increasingly globalized world.2 So, our goal is to contribute to knowledge acquisition and application of knowledge in the management and leadership of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the world, by strengthening the quality of our research and knowledge transfer.3
SWOT Analysis
Strengths: MAN SP offers a wide list of high-quality courses taught in English language. Therefore, the issue of updated course material is solved easily and quickly.
Ten years of experience in teaching, with highly qualified teaching staff. Due to teaching language MAN program is enriched quite often with international experts.
Having 11 core courses MAN program offers flexible curricula depending on students interest; Compliance courses offered in this program with similar study programs abroad;
Due to be part to the Lisbon Recognition Convention our unit courses and qualifications are recognized automatically across the world. This brings an important comparative advantage to our graduate for their further studies.
Our students are encouraged to attend seminars, conferences and lectures held outside their obligatory workload. These events are mainly focused on personal carrier plans of students, social and ethical issues of the societies and finally program specific studies at IUS.
Weaknesses: Alumni database is in development phase.
2 http://www.ius.edu.ba/regulations 3 Framework Law on University (Higher) Education in Bosnia and Herzegovina (Official Herald of BIH, No. 59/07)
International University of Sarajevo Study program self-evaluation report 2Q13
Lack of feedback on the careers of graduates, so is their contribution to curriculum development The absence of significant cooperation between students and the industry.
Opportunities: 10 The stronger association with alumni students, especially in terms of career tracking of graduates and labor market needs; IUS LEC International cooperation with IUS becoming a member of EUA;
Threats: Environment with less-developed awareness of the role of higher educational exchange; Inappropriate strategies to strengthen the science and system of higher education; New trends in the labor market; Security of the region and complex political structure might influence: investors to change their investment plans, students from abroad to reconsider coming to BH and IUS, teachers or experts to withdraw from IUS.
Action Plan
We plan to finalize the establishment a wholly functioning alumni system in a period of two years. Students’ active participation to cultural, social and art events held at IUS would be encouraged via giving credits to the participants of these activities. We plan to develop ECTS credits, assessment and grading methodology for that kind of activities. We see great opportunity of having courses given by IUS LEC incorporated in ECTS credit system. In a period of two years we plan to conclude a comprehensive research based on Labor market trends, SME’s Development and Investment possibilities in BH, and conclude some suggestions for solutions.
International University of Sarajevo Study program self-evaluation report 2Q13
2. Curriculum
While developing curriculum for the Management Program, the scientific classification of UNESCO (ISCED) is followed. In this way, defining scope and content of the Management Program and its interrelationship with 11 other related fields have been more reasonable and consistent. In the ISCED classification, scientific fields are categorized vertically and horizontally in a consistent and interrelated manner. This horizontal and vertical links are inherent in the methodology of European Qualifications Framework (EQF) and BH Qualifications Framework. To provide a more flexible curriculum by taking unpredictable future changes is much easier with this methodology. Students can select tracks to be focusing on in a more consistent and coherent manner.
The Book of Rules on Accepting and Monitoring Study Programs clearly defines the procedure of curriculum development, revision and innovation. Different procedures are foreseen for development, and revision and innovation of study programs at institutional level.4 Both procedures have different internal steps that also assure institutional quality assurance approach. The main motives behind development and amendment of an existing study program come from mainly from need analysis of the labor market and other stakeholders such as students, alumni and teaching staff. Analyses are defined as regular monitoring tool and part of the internal quality assurance (QA) system. They start from the course level and continue to study program (SP) level, involving all the relevant stakeholders, namely students, academic staff, industry representatives, community, management, but also consulting the latest developments in the area and available resources/opportunities. Such a system allows constant fine-tuning and new interconnections between the objectives and the content.

Rulebook on Study Programs clearly defines the procedure of curriculum development, revision and innovation. Development of a SP is preconditioned with certain requirements that assure the quality during the design process. Revision and innovation of a SP are not just possible, but also required, in order to keep pace with new developments and maintain this SP attractive and responding to both industry and students needs. Analyses are defined as regular monitoring tool and part of the internal QA system. They start from the course level and continue to SP level, involving all the relevant stakeholders, namely students, academic staff, industry representatives, community, management, but also consulting the latest developments in the area and available resources/opportunities.

Capable to make analytical study and appraisal, PERSONAL general study skills of problem solving, 15 decision making, and quantitative analysis, including self-managed and cooperative learning.
2.3. Curriculum Updates
IUS started process of revision of all 12 study programs for first cycle of study, in May of 2013. The process was facilitated by the vice-rector for academic activities and student affairs. The main aims of the revision were to optimize the programs, make them more interdisciplinary, standardize the program structure and ensure that the program cores are in accordance with international standards. During the revision process, a great importance was given to further developing of learning outcomes for each study program. The program based learning outcomes were developed by consulting the national framework of qualification of higher education in B&H, the external framework of qualification of European Higher Education Areas and external reference points. After the revised study programs were given positive opinion of the QA office and the Curricula Committee, the relevant Faculty Councils adopted them, as well as the IUS Senate, as the final authority.
2.4. Workload
Study program satisfies legal requirements related to the workload and ECTS credits, both national and EU. The first cycle lasts four years, which is equivalent to 240 ECTS credits distributed in eight semesters, each of them enabling students to acquire 30 ECTS. The standard for student workload and ECTS credit is defined by Law and equals 25 hours of student engagement. The formula is consistently applied, which is evident from course syllabus forms, where courses that are valued (e.g. 6 ECTS assume that an average student will spend
International University of Sarajevo Study program self-evaluation report 2Q13
150 hours of work, including lecture/tutorial attendance, practical work, individual learning and/or other forms of workload). In this way, it is estimated that the total work time of an average student will allow him/her to fully obtain the expected knowledge, skills and competences in that course, subsequently assigning the ECTS credits after the successful examination. Student workload in a course, in a semester is equally distributed throughout 16 weeks and is evident from the syllabus design and schedule. The same policy is applied to the 2nd cycle, which lasts one year and it is equal to 60 ECTS that should be obtained in two 15 semesters. In this way, the national requirement for awarding 2nd cycle degree and the title is satisfied.
IUS applies general policy where each course is valued 6 ECTS credits, with very few exceptions. This approach is used with an aim to allow well established courses that will cover substantial breadth and depth in any given area, thus enabling better and easier studying and learning to our students. Lecturers collect feedback directly from students and have the possibility to update the course syllabus, each semester. Special attention is given to factors hindering the learning process and these are additionally checked through student surveys. Factors that promote learning are manifold, and those pertaining to SP staff and/or resources are regularly monitored, evaluated and improved.
2.5. Coherence between the Learning Process Organization and Curriculum Content
Educational process is organized in semesters. Each student takes five courses in a semester. Teaching methods employed in courses include: lecturing, tutorials, problem solving, case studies, essays, seminars, projects and class discussions. The teachers define and select appropriate teaching methods, in line with course objectives, course learning outcomes and available recourses. Students’ obligations and activities are equally distributed through semester and on a weekly basis students usually have three hours of lectures and two hours for practice (i.e. including tutorials, problem solving, project and case studies) in a course. Students are assessed continuously throughout semester and in all courses through midterm and final exams and most of the courses employ quizzes and essays. There are other assessments used appropriate for particular courses. IUS uses template for course syllabi that contain information on student workload, course objectives, course content, learning outcomes, teaching delivery, essential reading and assessment. All these elements are coherent among them and aligned with study program learning outcomes. Teaching process is evaluated constantly by students, program coordinator and dean. Recourses available for educational activities satisfy minimum requirements. Special and human resources are at satisfactory level, while there is need for specific software and access to more on-line libraries and databases.
International University of Sarajevo Study program self-evaluation report 2Q13
Staff advancement in educational process is organised through the staff exchange and demonstrative lectures among staff. Other forms of advancements are left to individuals, and usually involve conference participation.
2.6. Final Graduation Thesis (Project)
In the final semester of the 1st cycle a student takes a course that involves the submission of a graduation project. Writing the Bachelor thesis students are expected to use most of the skills, competences 16 and information they learned during their study to come out with a research topic, upon which, they write a report that describes a certain problem and its solution. They are not expected to design new tools or investigate new phenomena, but rather to map their skills and information to what already exist. The bachelor thesis course is a course valued 6 ECTS credits, where students’ workload of 10 hours a week is expected to be allocated for the projects that include: consultation, literature review, experiments in laboratory, if needed, and writing of the final report. Classes that involve presentations of work, communication skills and reports writing are designed to prepare students for graduation project class.
To every student a Bachelor thesis mentor is assigned, and they meet at least once a week, where guidance by the mentor is provided and progress by the student is reported. Many of the graduation projects involve surveys, meetings and field work. For the assessment of final project paper a committee interviews the student and the final grade is determined based on the final report, presentation and QA session.

SWOT Analysis
Strengths:
Coherency between educational objectives, program learning outcomes, unit course learning outcomes, qualified academic staff, teaching and assessment methods, i.e. current curriculum; education in English language, and international environment
Weaknesses:
The academic and intellectual differences between various students may be seen as a weakness.
Opportunities:
The Management Program has a potential comparative advantage to be one of the most prominent study programs across the region. Other universities, companies and government institutions are potential stakeholders to develop certain cooperation programs to share assets mutually.
Threats:
Attraction of the Management Program and IUS are increasing day after day. Without a balance between demand of prospective students and the capacity that the program has, would create a risk in terms of education quality and physical adequacy.
International University of Sarajevo Study program self-evaluation report 2Q13
Action Plan

3. Human Resources
Human resource management incorporates the utilization of individuals to achieve organizational objectives.
3.1. Quality of Academic Staff
Human resources management is dealt with primarily at faculty and University levels. This domain is regulated by the Law on Higher Education, the University Statute and other regulations, which clearly define the basic criteria and the procedures. Academic staff members fall into two categories: teachers and assistants. In order to get academic appointment, all the legal and institutional criteria with regard to qualifications and academic/artistic background must be satisfied and the selection process includes introductory lecture, which is evaluated by an ad-hoc committee. Professional development policy at IUS is regulated through Program of measures for creation of conditions for promotion of academic staff. This document underlines conditions for promotion of academic staff into higher academic titles and also lists other measures, which allow professional development of IUS teaching staff. Hiring process, duties and responsibilities, appointments, promotions, workloads and evaluations of academic staff are regulated by Law, Statute and rulebooks.
Academic staff appointments are publicly announced and open to all the interested candidates. A committee checks the applications and attached files, prepares a shortlist and invites candidates to deliver an introductory lecture for the evaluation purpose. Final decision is brought by the Senate voting.
There is a universal workload policy, based on the relevant standards and norms. At IUS, the teachers are supposed to teach nine hours a week and to spend the rest of their working time in other activities, primarily student consultations, research and some administrative duties. Assistants’ workloads are also in line with the existing standards and norms.
International University of Sarajevo Study program self-evaluation report 2Q13
Academic staff members are regularly evaluated by students and institution on a regular yearly basis. Student surveys7 are performed at the end of each semester and the scores given by students are used in institutional evaluation of academic staff that includes their educational, scientific/artistic and administrative activities. The evaluation is objective with clearly set criteria, identified areas and values for every activity/output. These evaluations are part of the internal QA system and are managed by the Rector’s office, as defined in the rulebook. 28 3.2. Alignment of Professional and Academic Demands (CV)

Business (1989-2009)
The 1980s were exciting times for business. The introduction of information technologies allowed business model and life style changes. Sencer Yeralan, having developed and taught courses in embedded control, formed a small private company (Rigel Corporation) to develop hardware and software products, but mostly to experience the unfolding changes in business and society. The "technology" company, although small in scope, has undertaken many substantial projects. Moreover, working with overseas companies allowed first-hand experiences in globalization and international cooperation. Relations with some companies grew to long-term relationships, once again, a trademark development of the business in that period. Dr. Yeralan designed all of the hardware and personally wrote most of the software. Working with semiconductor manufacturers, the product line was especially useful in technology transfer to industry and universities. Since its introduction in the late 1990s, the 8051 development environment READS is being used by many educational institutions as the default development system. Accordingly, almost all software products were free of charge (a practice common today), while Dr. Yeralan took opportunities to write five (5) textbooks and many magazine articles to promote the use of microcontrollers. Most notably, the "Common Sencer" corner of the Siemens Microelectronics Magazine. Although as an engineer, Dr. Yeralan designed and developed almost all Rigel products, the most significant experience from the Rigel years is in the opportunities to have been involved in the expansion of globalization, the integration of the Internet into the business (Rigel was one of the first companies on the net), business practices such as long-term partnerships, virtual companies, and ISO quality certifications.

Employment at IUS is regulated in details and monitored. Academic staff needs are regularly analyzed at SP level and information is forwarded to Faculty Council, Senate and finally to the Board of Trusties for a final review and approval. All the requests for new staff must be elaborated and justified, either by current situation or near future prospects. Academic staff can be employed only through a public call and duly completed procedure, paying special attention to the quality, experience and scientific/artistic profile of the applicants. Given the fact that academic staff members usually must respond to a very specific and narrow demands, this process can be lengthy and even result in not finding the proper candidate. An alternative hiring system is anticipated in these exceptional cases. All the academic staff members are employed for a limited time and this is regulated with their academic/artistic appointments.
The only exception to this rule is tenured professor who can be employed indefinitely.

4.1. Assessment and Testing
Student assessment at IUS is regulated by the Book of Rules on the Procedure for Assessment of IUS Student (SAP) (No. IUS-SENAT 11-823/11). This procedure defines the process of 9 student assessment, as well as an appeal process. Students are awarded ECTS Credits upon successful completion of each course. Assessment is a continuous process and includes, but is not limited to, written exams, oral exams, practical work, seminar papers, tests, projects, colloquiums, performance and portfolios. Assessment methods for each course are announced at the beginning of the semester, where the evaluation and the weight of each method are clarified for students in the course syllabus. The grading scale for each course is in accordance with the law, and it is, as follows:
International University of Sarajevo Study program self-evaluation report 2Q13
It is prescribed in SAP that student’s assessment is continuous during a semester (Article I); teaching staff are keeping records on students’ activities (Article IV) and motivating them for 10 continuous work and learning. Assessment methods are appropriate for each subject and are devised by teaching staff (Article V), while minimum points (i.e. as a measure of student’s advancement, acquired skills and competences) for each subject are universal and evident from the table, above. This table also represents pass threshold and grading scale in use, at IUS. All these elements are presented in course syllabus, issued and revised each year, so all the students are properly informed about the grading/evaluation process and the information available all the time.
Examination schedules are announced on-line, in the academic calendar available on IUS’s website, on faculty notice boards, and they contain all the necessary information.
Apart from this, assessments and evaluations during each semester are commented upon and analyzed, subsequently. There is also an appeal procedure in place. Assessment procedures, in general, are organized in a way to provide for maximum impartiality and objectivity, fairness, transparency and consistency.
A set of rules and procedures are defined for plagiarism and cheating, during exams, where disciplinary actions would be taken in case of misbehavior.8
4.2. Practical Training
Students of Management SP are required to complete their internship during their studies. The duration of internship required is, in total, 30 working days, which refers to 15 days, in two different departments.9
4.3.Students’ Admission Criteria
8 BOOK OF RULES On Disciplinary and Material Accountability of Students at International University of Sarajevo; IUS SENATE 11-1188-1-1/14
9 Procedure and Rules for Internship, IUS-SENATE 11-1327/2014
International University of Sarajevo Study program self-evaluation report 2Q13 The requirements for admission to the first cycle of IUS study programs are:
1. Successful completion of 4 years Bosnian high school or its equivalent from abroad; 2. English Language proficiency that is to be demonstrated by: a. Provision of internationally acceptable certificates (e.g. TOEFL, IELTS), or
b. The successful completion of proficiency exam. 11
Students are ranked on the basis of the high school grades and all the conditions, fees, needed documents and other relevant information are made clear and transparent, in a public call. At Management SP, available human and physical resources are analyzed and proposals for enrollment quotas are sent to the Faculty Council and forwarded to the Senate who defines the final quotas for the entire University. The Committee that checks the applications and documents is established at University level and after the submission period, all the applicants are informed of the status of their application. IUS has the option to implement entrance exam for the enrollment for all the students. The policy is not to introduce it yet in general, and students coming from Turkey are advised to take national qualification exam. IUS policy is to attract good students, so, in order to increase the quality of students enrolled, large number of scholarship (tuition fees) are provided and the criterion for receiving these scholarships is an entrance exam, where general knowledge, language and math skills are the key parameters assessed. Once the student receives a scholarship, there is a criterion to keep or increase that scholarship and it is based on the student’s success during his/her studies. There is also enrollment by transfer that students who studied earlier at other HEIs, use as a tool, for both enrollment, but also the recognition of prior learning and knowledge.
Studies in the first cycle are organized in a way to allow transition to faculty level. Common university courses (in the first study year) serve to accustom students to a new environment and to raise the level of education to the level that will enable successful studying in the respective faculties and SPs. There are additional non-credit courses that provide additional skills to IUS students and ease the intercultural communication among various international and Bosnian/Herzegovinian students.
Admission criteria for the 2nd study cycle follow the same policies and procedures, so the requirements for admission to the second cycle of IUS study programs are:
International University of Sarajevo Study program self-evaluation report 2Q13 1. Successful completion of a 4-year 1st cycle or its equivalent from abroad in the relevant area and with minimum acceptable CGPA;10 2. English Language proficiency that is to be demonstrated by: a. Provision of internationally acceptable certificates (e.g. TOEFL, IELTS), or b. The successful completion of proficiency exam. 12 4.4.Students’ Involvement in the Teaching/Learning Process Improvement
Students are involved in the decision making process through students’ bodies and their representatives in the university management structures. Students are full and equal members of: 1. Senate; 2. Faculty council; 3. Quality assurance office; 4. Quality assurance teams; 5. Other committees;
Students are primarily organized in their independent organization – Student Parliament of IUS (SPIUS) and representatives of all study programs and cycles participate in SPIUS Assembly. All students participate in SPIUS representatives elections. All procedures are defined by the Statute of SPIUS.
Students’ participation in teaching/learning improvement has been formalized through IUS regulations that define students’ roles, in regular analyses/evaluations of teachers, courses and resources, but also in the process of design of a new SP. The student survey at the end of every semester is a major point in the evaluation of the teaching process and the teachers involved in it. The surveys are filled out on-line, absolutely anonymous and do provide a valid feedback for analyses. The surveys are processed by QA Office, with IT Dept’s assistance. The results are delivered to the staff, management and, in a limited way, to the students. The rulebook on SPs defines that in defining any new SP proposal, students must be consulted, thereof. A student representative is also a member of the committee performing this self-evaluation, and students are also members of other self-evaluation committees at different levels.
10 Study rules for second study cycle: No. IUS-SENAT-11-2488-2/2014
International University of Sarajevo Study program self-evaluation report 2Q13 4.5. Promotion of Student Mobility and Recognition of ECTS Credits
IUS signed more than 80 agreements on cooperation with HEIs in B&H and abroad. These agreements assume mobility and there is an institutional framework that allows student mobility and recognition of study period spent abroad. Use of ECTS system at IUS makes the mobility feature easily recognizable, for both outgoing and incoming students. IUS also supports and 13 encourages its academic staff to visit and spend time at other higher education or research institutions. In case of such a mobility/absence, the academic staff members are paid as usual.
IUS joined Mevlana Exchange Program in August of 2013. The Mevlana program aims at the exchange of students and academic staff between the Turkish higher education institutions and higher education institutions of other countries. Among the previously mentioned number of signed cooperation agreements, more than 30 of them are signed within the Mevlana Exchange Program. A number of IUS students and professors have already used this program for their mobility and, in case of students, documents, almost identical to the instances when European ECTS mobility documents are used, obliging sending institution to recognize the specific courses, once the student is returned. The courses are to be recognized only if successfully passed. Student mobility can last between one semester and one academic year. Teachers’ mobility is of shorter duration and assumes teaching duties, but also other networking activities.
IUS students can participate under Action 2 and 3 of the Erasmus Mundus Program. IUS has signed a bilateral agreement with a foreign HEI. Signing the bilateral agreement, the University gives opportunity to its students and teachers to make the first mobility within the Erasmus+ program with special emphasis on the field of international relations, political science, and management and leadership.
4.6.Coaching of Students and Consultations
Every study program has a program coordinator; some have coordinator’s assistant, and all freshmen students have advisors who can be easily reached for various types of consultations (i.e. academic, administrative and social advices are provided).
International University of Sarajevo Study program self-evaluation report 2Q13 Side to side with programs and advisors, two bodies are available to provide help to students (e.g. Student Consultation Center and Student Affairs office). Both bodies work on making students’ life and study period, as easy as possible.
All academic staff is required to have consultation hours for their students, and they are required to allocate time for students’ inquiries and help. There is a formal requirement that 14 academic staff must be available for at least 10 hours a week for consultations with students and this norm is observed. Consultation hours are usually scheduled after the lectures making them aligned to students’ needs. Reasonable amounts of academic staffs’ workloads include the work with students for coaching. Students can report and evaluate the consultation level through the student survey and student center. In the recent student surveys, students expressed their agreement with the statement “I have been able to contact the lecturer during specified consultation hours.” in the upper quarter of possible replies; signifying that they mostly agree with it. This is not a surprise, knowing that working regulations at IUS, unlike many HEIs in B&H, require academic staff to spend full working time on campus. All academic staff members use modern electronic communication tools and students have the opportunity to get in touch with staff in this way, too.
Apart from verbal announcements and official boards, IUS website and student information system are key tools for informing students about important information. A multitude of other details about events, classes, lectures and important deadlines is available in this electronic system.
4.7. Information and Complaints System
There are three major channels of communicating with and informing students: direct verbal information, web site and official student information system. All the popular communication tools, including e-mails, social networks and mobile technologies are used as well.
IUS is publishing Student Guide in three languages (i.e. Bosnian, English and Turkish) every year. More than 2000 copies of printed Student Guides are distributed annually in B&H and abroad. The Student Guide is also published on IUS website. The guide provides accurate, impartial
International University of Sarajevo Study program self-evaluation report 2Q13 and objective information about the University, study programs and student life at IUS, and it is intended primarily for high school students and graduates.
Student can access the information they need from various channels; this depends on the type of information:
15 Administrative: In every faculty there is a legal advisor and there is a legal office at the University level that works closely with student center, all of which can be reached for all administrative and legal issues, regulations and information; Academic: All program documents and relevant program issues can be found on the program website – and can be reached through the student center, program coordinators, advisors and/or student affairs.
At the beginning of every academic year, an orientation week is organized where newcomers meet all IUS relevant staff (starting from rector, deans, program coordinators, librarian, students affairs personnel, student consultation center staff, public relations office members, international relation office members…etc). There are offices at IUS that take care of new students and provide necessary assistance and guidance. Apart from these institutional mechanisms, students themselves can organize, under the supervision of IUS offices, peer support and guidance in the first semester. Student center, together with IR Office is also responsible for exchange students, providing orientation sessions and finding peers for peer support. Financial support is also available under very clear conditions.
Student Parliament and student clubs provide much information needed on various opportunities for learning, tutoring, work, internship, student exchange, etc. SACHS Office and student clubs support extra-curricular needs and activities in an organized and systematic manner, securing sport facilities in campus and elsewhere, and other support as requested and deemed appropriate, including financial one.
Complaint system has two tracks, formal one and informal. Informal complaints are advised for minor issues that can be dealt with easily and/or personally. However, formal complaints system is established and Student Centre is receiving all students’ complaints and appeals, making them officially recorded and properly addressed, depending on the nature of the
International University of Sarajevo Study program self-evaluation report 2Q13 complaint/appeal. There is a system of dealing with all the complaints and students are familiar where and when their submissions are sent. Usually, there is no need for student’s involvement once the complaint has been submitted to Student Center, and a student is informed of the status of his/her submission in a timely manner.
16 SWOT Analysis
Strengths:
Availability of academic staff for students’ need and requirements; Communication and advisory approach toward students; Combination of theoretical and practical approach in education;
Weaknesses:
Lack of established training opportunities; Lack of students’ involvement in research processes;
Opportunities:
Establishment of different exchange programs for students; Matching labor demand and labor supply;
Threats:
Increasing offer from other universities in management and related fields;
Action Plan
In accordance with SWOT analysis the existing strengths should be maintained and improved to a higher level, while weaknesses should be managed by considering the establishment of different SP under Management SP, which will focus more on labor demands in the labor market. Furthermore, the internship should be arranged in accordance to students’ needs and preferences and organized among market preferable companies and institutions on a regular basis. In addition, students should be provided with knowledge and opportunities to be involved in
International University of Sarajevo Study program self-evaluation report 2Q13 research process with support of academic staff. Opportunities should be considered as useful ways to enhance the offer, recognition, image and reputation of whole university among current and potential students. Meeting the opportunities would bring the prosperity to many sides, students, university, potential human resource and the labor market. Threat is evident with constantly rising offers of existing universities and newly established ones. However, threat can 17 become strength by overcoming the weaknesses.

6.Internal Quality Assurance
6.1.Evaluation Results and Measures for Study Program Improvements
Internal Quality Assurance
International University of Sarajevo (IUS) work continuously to develop and secure its internal system of quality assurance aiming to ensure continuous improvement of quality of its study programmes.
Established Policies and Structures for Internal Quality Assurance
Formalisation of the existing QA structures happened at IUS in 2011 with adoption of series of relevant documents; namely, Quality Assurance Office policy (Nr. IUS-UO 08-32/2011) that established formal QA body at IUS – Quality Assurance Office; Regulation on Quality Assurance at IUS (Nr. IUS-SENAT 11-819/11,) which establishes a formal framework for the entire internal QA system at IUS by defining all relevant elements and containing quality assurance policy. The system was further developed through Internal Quality Assurance Procedures (Nr. IUS-SENAT 11-1064/11), which covers self-evaluation, evaluation, external evaluation and contains relevant templates for the processes.
There are several documents which are not part of QA policy per se but significantly contribute to the IUS overall QA system. These are Code of Ethics, Decision on the Establishment of Ethical committee, Decision on procedures for Developing, Adopting and Implementation of IUS Strategy, Regulation on Student Organization and Student Roles at IUS, Decision on Administering Random
International University of Sarajevo Study program self-evaluation report 2Q13 Evaluation in English Language Proficiency, and Statute.
QA Bodies
Regulation on Quality Assurance at IUS defines the scope of internal QA system, covering teaching, 23 research, management, administration and student experiences. Such a comprehensive system is the backbone of institutional internal quality assurance. Specific QA structure at IUS is made of fully functional QA office at the university level and the QA Teams at faculty level. Student representatives are appointed in QA Teams. Decisions of appointment of QA Team at: FENS, FASS, FBA).
Quality Assurance bodies at IUS are, as follows:
• Quality Assurance Office;
• Quality Assurance Teams.
QA bodies at IUS, defined in Article 8. of the Regulation on QA at IUS, are fully operational and functional. The roles, responsibilities, and activities are clearly defined in the same Regulation and further elaborated in additional IUS legal documents.
The QA Office is the main QA executive body. The QA Teams are constituted within each IUS Faculty and are bodies of the faculties.
Evaluation and Monitoring Activities
QA Office regularly performs the following activities: conducting student surveys at the end of each semester, analyzing student pass rate after each exam period, provide guidance for analyzing study programmes at the end of each academic year, evaluating English language proficiency, academic staff evaluation, processes reviews and improvements, providing support and guidance for the processes of self-evaluation at both study programme and IUS level, preparation of workshops on improvement of teaching and learning and monitoring of student elections and complaints.
International University of Sarajevo Study program self-evaluation report 2Q13 Activities in which QA Office provides assistance and support include: monitoring and recording of the proper and regular fulfilling of the teaching obligations by academic staff, updating study programmes curricula changes, syllabi updates, student survey participation award, monitoring of the student elections, preparation of forms, updates of rulebooks, definition of scientific areas, establishing needs for academic staff, and participation in events and projects, such as workshops 24 organized by the Council of Europe, EU Twinning Project: Strengthening Institutional Capacity for Quality Assurance and Agency for Higher Education and Quality Assurance, BiH, (HEA). IUS evaluates its QA system formally in the process of self-evaluation, but also as the part of strategy monitoring implementation and regular analyses by Board of Trustees IUS quality system is in full compliance with ENQA standards and guidelines, BH standards and guidelines, laws and Acts of the Agency for Development of Higher Education and Quality Assurance, and competent cantonal laws and by-laws.
Evaluation of Study Programmes and Courses
Procedures for proposing, accepting, and monitoring the curricula and syllabi are defined in the Book of Rules on Proposing, Adopting and Monitoring Study Programs at IUS (revised Rule Book, No. IUS SENAT 11-3330/14. The Curricula Committee (stipulated by the Rules of Procedure of the Committee for Monitoring Study Programmes at IUS, revised No. IUS SENAT -11-3324/14), is the body which is responsible for the evaluation of new and revised curricula for all cycles of studies on organizational units of IUS. The Committee is appointed by the Rector and has special consultative role at IUS. It consists of five members and membership is considered as honourable assignment. The tasks and responsibilities of the Committee are defined in the Book of Rules on Proposing, Adopting and Monitoring Study Programs at IUS.
Study programmes for all three cycles are adopted by the Senate on the proposal of the Faculty Council and with a positive opinion of the Curricula Committee. The proposal of a new study program goes through the review process. Before approval of the Faculty Council, the proposal will be shared for review with other colleagues, professional associations relevant to the proposed program and other interested parties. To approve the proposal, there should be at least one positive review by an internationally recognized professor in the field concerning the program, and
International University of Sarajevo Study program self-evaluation report 2Q13 approvals by the Quality Assurance Office and the Curricula Committee. Once the proposal is accepted by the Faculty Council, the proposal is submitted for approval to the Senate.
According to the Book of Rules mentioned above, changes in an existing study program can be classified as minor changes, in which approval of the responsible Faculty Council suffices, and major changes where approval of the Faculty Council and the Senate is needed, assuming the positive 25 opinion of the QA office and the Curricula Committee.
The procedures for analysis and revisions of existing programs and courses are done according to the Book of Rules on Proposing, Accepting, and Monitoring of Study Programs. The quality of the curriculum is assured through continuous monitoring and verification of program objectives, outcomes, learning methods, workload of students, students’ exam pass rates, and by gathering information from students and lecturers as well as other stakeholders.
Course analysis is performed once a year at the end of each academic year ( No. IUS-SENAT 11- 132/13). The analysis contains information about the number of registered students for a course, a number of students that have withdrawn from the course, average grade of the course and student's evaluation of the course, which is measured every semester by the online student survey system. The survey contains questions about course, the lecturer of the course and the teaching assistants.
Additionally, study program analysis is performed once a year at the end of each academic year and the following data is analyzed:
• Number of students in each study program based on study year; • Number of students graduated in each study program; • Number of students in each study program that left; • Average grade in each study program; • Average duration of study in each program.
International University of Sarajevo Study program self-evaluation report 2Q13
SWOT Analysis
STRENGTHS WEAKNESSES - QA system policies in place - Current number of staff in QA office to 26 - Established processes implemented to respond to all requests great extent - UNIPA system still not fully - Leads take responsibility consolidated, making data collection very difficult - Close cooperation between QA Office and QA Teams - QA teams job description and motivation
OPPORTUNITIES THREATS
- Train QA Teams on data analysis, - Improving quality could cause some ensuring that programmes remain budget increase current and valid in the light of developing knowledge in the discipline, and practice in its application; how to evaluate the continuing effectiveness of the curriculum and of assessment in relation to the intended learning outcomes; (study tours, in-house trainings, on any other available type of training)
- ensure that appropriate action is taken to remedy any identified shortcomings of a study programme - fully following PDCA cycles - exploit innovative technologies and improve teaching/learning
International University of Sarajevo Study program self-evaluation report 2Q13 6.2. Involvement of Colleagues, Students, Alumni and Labor Market/Professional Associations
The existing QA structures at IUS are QA Office with two employees and three student representatives from all three cycles, as volunteers and QA Teams at faculty level with five members, namely management representative, teacher representative, assistant representative, administrative staff representative and a student representative. Self-evaluations, both at 27 university and SP level are done by appointed committees and student representatives are present on all these committees.

7.Achieved Results
7.1.Accomplished Level
Management program has an inclining tendency in a number of enrolled students through the period from 2012-2014 (Table 1). A number of students that are registered at MAN program from 29 2012/2013 to 2013/2014 is increased by 35 students while this number in 2014/2015 is increased to 122 students. In 2014/2015 (all cycles) are 33 MBA students and 11 students enrolled for PhD study. Since 2012/2013 academic year there was an increase of 37 %, which is a promising perspective for MAN program.
Teaching methods are improved proving the awareness of academic staff in their challenging job. More communication with students is established through office hours and informal activities and discussions, whereas students’ performance has been increasing.
Undergraduate level of study (first cycle) id designed in a way that graduates from MAN are able to apply the knowledge and skills they gained during the study. The MAN program has advanced its study rolling out the practical implementation of the knowledge and skills involving student in “real projects” so that they are able to face challenges in business environment of Bosnia and Herzegovina as well as in global market. Interactive discussion with students equips them with additional skills in terms of analytical approaches for certain issues as well as critical thinking towards those issues are applied. Outside class room discussion add values to students’ competences in their readiness for the future carriers.
In addition, MAN program has open the door of research ideas from students involving them to generate, create and select the best ideas for their Projects which are monitored by qualified MAN staff.

International University of Sarajevo Study program self-evaluation report 2Q13 7.2. Acquired Competences
The program has advanced postgraduate studies compared to last academic year and these competences could be seen in the following areas:
1. Undergraduate level of study at MAN program has improved teaching methods where 30 students are able to get skills in case analysis and presentation skills. In addition, teaching staff prepare students for further academic carrier, as well as industry environment. The subjects that hone students’ readiness for their future carriers are program required courses supported by electives that are thought utilizing modern teaching philosophy. 2. At the master study we did improvement in research areas giving a chance to students of publishing at least a conference paper that is a part of total grade of the course. Almost each given course at master level of studies provides these opportunities. Also, those students who decide to pursue academic carrier are obliged to complete master thesis providing that students are prepared for their eventual PhD studies, at local university and abroad, as well. This is confirmed the number of students enrolled in the academic year of 2014/2015. 3. PhD study requires from students to complete a course namely Directed Research Project BUS 690, where students are obliged to publish a paper in an international journal. Moreover, this practice strengthens research skills of PhD students before they start their PhD research (PhD thesis). Prior to PhD proposal, a team is established for a student qualification exam that is meant for students’ advancement and readiness for their theses to be researched in accordance to accepted standardized levels.

CONCLUSION AND SUMMARY 33
The percentage of 37% of increasing number of students (all cycle levels) at MAN program is showing potential of this part of FBA Faculty. However, overall performance of MAN program has significantly improved, in both achieved results and acquired competence in this area. A number of publications have also been increased in this academic year (2014-2015), compared to previous ones. The quality of education has been advanced at master and PhD level, too. Certain competences are acquired in providing services to graduate studies where a number of students have increased. Furthermore, MAN program is also recognized in this community as potential incubator of producing skilled managers ready for today’s challenges. Students, at undergrad level, as well postgraduate level, are given opportunity to attend business lecturers provided by the LEC, which is a milestone of the future development of MAN program.
Having the fact that this Program has competitive environment, it is obvious that MAN program has to work on its quality or strategy to achieve better results in attracting new students especially for undergraduate level. Given an added value to this program as English language for medium of instruction, we are still able to produce educated and well grounded students at all three levels if action plan will be implemented and other unforeseen (at least not for now) objectives will be implemented.
