Revisedcs Template Final Vocational Slovenia IT Level 6 REVISED GRID FOR MICRO LEVEL APPROACH Cover sheet Country: ________Slovenia_____________________________________ Sector: Bank IT EQF NQF Level: Level: __6_______ Level: __/_______ Institution University of Primorska (private/state): Faculty of Mathematics, Sciences and Information Technology Koper Name of the study program Computer and informatics science : Duration three years (in years/months): Credits study program is valued with 180 credit points by the ECTS system 1 REVISED GRID FOR MICRO LEVEL APPROACH 1) State of play/ macro level (please provide a short résumé of the macro level grid (1/2 – 1 page), how could the situation in your country be summarized concerning qualifications at Level 5 &6, what is the national context, (what is considered to be HE, how could the learning culture be characterized, etc.) In the Republic of Slovenia, higher education is regulated by the Higher Education Act. The original act entered into force on Jan 1, 1994 and its amendments on Dec 24, 1999. In 2004 a new Act of Higher Education was passed, wherein according to the Bologna process, studies are divided into 1st, 2nd, and 3rd cycle. The first students have entered the new Bologna programmes in the academic year 2005/06 According to the 1999 Higher Education Act institutions will enrol students into the old, non-Bologna programmes for the last time in the academic year 2008/09, these students will have to finish their study programmes until 2015/16. Due to the renewal of the HE programmes, a new law about academic titles is being passed and is expected to be in force by mid-2006 The Credit Transfer System (ECTS): the total number of credit points (credits) allocated to the courses in an academic year is 60. The credit transfer system is being implemented gradually. Most faculties have introduced it at the post-graduate level. Students must receive from 60 to 90 credit points to complete their studies at the “specialization” level, 120 credit points to complete their studies at the “master” level and 240 credit points to obtain a PhD. At the undergraduate level, however, the credit system has been implemented only by a certain number of faculties; the number of credit points depends on the number of years of study and/or semesters. In Slovenia there are at least four subsystems for obtaining qualifications, and it is frequently established that they are insufficiently linked: The first is the school subsystem, and within it vocational and technical education. The programmes in this system are already based on vocational standards at the national level. The regular school system includes programmes for general education and postsecondary education, which are still based on a classification of vocations in which vocational categories have not been replaced with vocational standards. The third subsystem is the system of determination of knowledge, competences and qualifications gained through experience – National Vocational Qualifications (NVQ). The recognition of individual qualifications according to this system is basically appropriately arranged and standardised, and is based entirely on existing vocational standards and catalogues of standards of vocational knowledge and skills; the possibility to transfer from this system into the system of formal education exists on paper, but is difficult to implement in practice. 2 REVISED GRID FOR MICRO LEVEL APPROACH Finally, there is a wide range of various forms of training within companies, which are not linked to any of the existing subsystems and offer certificates of qualification of limited validity. Another particularity of our national situation is insufficiently defined relations between education and vocations. We come from a system which employed the equation: level of formal education = degree of difficulty of work, which made it possible to perform several types of jobs of the same degree of difficulty at the labor market. In this sense the degree of difficulty of work represented a rung on the scale of qualifications and was equated with the level of formal education acquired. The labor market and the regulation of vocations were not reformed when the school system was reformed, which led to discrepancies and consequently to the lack of a uniform national scale of qualifications, which is currently being substituted by various scales within individual branches, which can be seen mainly in collective bargaining contracts for individual lines of work. Short cycle qualifications are achieved in higher Vet programmes (Law on higher VET) and bring 120 credit points. Transfer and recognition of higher Vet diploma depends on the partnerships between higher Vet collages and universities. A deeper analysis is needed. There is an intention for VET programmes (2 years after secondary school) to be at 5th level and the Bologna 1st cycle to be at 6th level. Qualifications are offered by universities (private or public), Vet institutions, Chambers of Commerce (VET-5th level, partially), professional bodies (only partially) and also some ministries. Higher VET colleagues are offering higher Vet diploma. It is agreed that the Republic of Slovenia has many standard vocations and that the development of the national qualifications framework, which is supported by the EQF, will hasten certain changes in the legislation of the RS, deregulation, flexibility, interdisciplinarity and the introduction of new key competences. The EQF can by all means hasten the process of development of sectoral qualifications at the national level. 2) Short presentation of the institution and the selected program (please provide a short summary about the institution and the background of the selected program you are presenting (origin and history of the selected program, accreditation and building process,etc, core elements of the organisational structure (e-learning, specific modules in the evening, weekend, assessment procedures, etc..) University of Primorska (UP), in its short period of existence has developed a series of high-quality academic programs, particularly in the field of humanism and social sciences. In doing so, the obvious is big deficit study programs in the areas of science and engineering, as well as medicine and the arts. The creation of a new faculty will fill two areas and thereby substantially wrapped up the operation of the University of Primorska. The need for new fields of study does not come only from universities but also from the environment in which it arouses, and work environment. The need was expressed from both in the context of the Council of Confidant. 3 REVISED GRID FOR MICRO LEVEL APPROACH In preparation courses in the fields of natural sciences (mathematics, computing and informatics, biology, ecology and nutrition) and engineering (mechatronics, embedded systems, environmental technology) in a highly professional and university level 1 and their upgrading to 2 and 3 stage of the University of Primorska responded to the needs of the economy, agriculture and personal services regions and countries. Developing new areas of research, particularly in maths, computing and information, biotechnology, biodiversity, technical and other specialized studies, however, University of Primorska will allow the creation of new educational cooperation with business. The creation of a new faculty represents the realization of part of the UP Development Program, which is in its Development Program 2004 - 2008 (Annex 5.b.) wrote: "In addition to the renovation of existing courses 1 degree in the fields of social sciences and humanities, health, tourism, computer science and applied mathematics, will be introduced mainly to a new study at the 2 and 3 stage and develop new undergraduate programs in the field of natural sciences (ecology, food, mehatronike). " Basis for the formation of this study programme can be found also in the initiatives of local communities and economy (Council of Trustees and its members Istrabenz, Droga, Luka Koper, Hidria, Emona Obala, et al.) The phases in the development of new faculties are as follows: in 2006: 1.Start of the process to establish faculties (preparation elaborate to obtain the opinion of the Council for High on the conditions for the creation of a new faculty); 2.Preparation of the proposal for the extension of activities in the Statute of the UP Isced, on the basis of amendments Decree establishing the UP and the preparation of amendments to the Ordinance establishing the UP, UP and the Statute of the annex to the Statute of the UP; in the 2007/08 academic year: 1.Start of the implementation of already accredited program of study of Mathematics and Computing and Informatics. Other programs are prepared to be implemented in the areas covered by the faculty; 2.Development of computer and information science provides the basis for the development of intellectual complex technologies in Slovenia. An excellent educational structure, which enables quality education professionals at all levels of computer skills, good relationship with industry, and research center, which allows both tracking new technologies, as well as participation in top-level research work in this area are required for the successful development. 4 REVISED GRID FOR MICRO LEVEL APPROACH 3.Companies in the region, especially the computer departments of large enterprises and small computer firms have expressed the need for much more computer-and information-oriented staff. On the basis of the desire and the desire of students an application for a new program of study "Computers and Informatics" was developed, which is expected to fill the gaps in this area in our region and beyond. 4.In designing the program the wishes and recommendations from the core business and the wider surroundings was taken into account. These companies will represent the most significant and smooth way for employment of these graduates. The study program will provide high-quality computer business staff. Incentive for the establishment of the Faculty of Mathematics, Sciences and Information Technology came from the working group of the Department of Mathematics and Computer within the Faculty of education Koper, University of Primorska. Faculty of Mathematics, Sciences and Information Technology in 2006.

  • Creating Value in the Entrepreneurial University: Marketization and Merchandising Strategies
    administrative sciences Article Creating Value in the Entrepreneurial University: Marketization and Merchandising Strategies Chiara Fantauzzi *, Rocco Frondizi , Nathalie Colasanti and Gloria Fiorani Department of Management and Law, University of Rome Tor Vergata, 00133 Roma, Italy; [email protected] (R.F.); [email protected] (N.C.); gloria.fi[email protected] (G.F.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 9 August 2019; Accepted: 14 October 2019; Published: 18 October 2019 Abstract: Higher education institutions are called to expand their role and responsibilities, by enhancing their entrepreneurial mindset and redefining relationships with stakeholders. In order to cope with these new challenges, they have started to operate in a strategic manner, by performing marketing and merchandising activities. Indeed, in a sector characterized by the presence of competitive funding models, several forms of accountability, and performance indicators, universities have become open systems and have started to operate like enterprises, considering students as customers. Given this premise, the aim of the paper is to individuate marketing and merchandising strategies in higher education and to evaluate their effectiveness in order to foster stakeholders engagement. This is in line with the entrepreneurial university model that represents the starting point of the theoretical study, then a literature review of “marketization” in higher education institutions is presented, showing how this field is not yet completely investigated. Data refer to the Italian context and are analyzed through a qualitative method. Findings suggest that most Italian universities perform merchandising strategies, but currently there is not sufficient information to evaluate their effectiveness in higher education, it was only possible to make hypotheses.
