According to reports and interviews, we note that the program is updated annually, as all proposed changes should be implemented. AII stakeholders should be involved in the evaluation, except for possible foreign experts. The program underwent major changes from 2016 to 2018 when it adapted to the uniform system of the UM doctoral school. Forms and methods of work are adapted to the number of students. An individual approach is emphasized. The application of the program to other forms of work ls appropriate according to the forms provided by the curricula (lectures, seminars, etc.). Providers and students confirm the correct implementation of all intended forms of study. Interviews with students and teachers show a high level of responsibility and a desire to achieve high standards despite individual adjustments. Students and teachers report on the realization of the planned scope of individual work in the annual report to the vice-dean. One of the exposed forms of work is monthly or bimonthly meetings or seminars, where students present their toplcs and point out problems and difficulties they have encountered in their research work. Qualitative analysis is used to assess study loads, and the results show that it is adequate. The average duration of study is 5 to 6 years, which is considered suitable by the providers. Since, mainly due to the small number of students, it is a specific study program where standard forms of quality assessment (e.g., anonymous surveys) are questionable, it is also difficult for the committee to judge whether the circle of quality has been fulfilled. 13 n•a•k•v•i•s s•q•a•a Based on the reports and after the interviews, we conclude that the program is constantly being adapted and refined, albeit informally and spontaneously in direct contact between various stakeholders. The Commission advises the use of different documentation when compiling evaluation reports, ongoing documentation of proposals, and the appropriate form of annual evaluation for a specific program. Accessibility to ali forms of study materials, research instruments, and other aids is highly rated. The involvement of students in research projects is facilitated and encouraged. Students are kept informed on the fly and through various communication channels. The adequacy and competence of personnel are defined by law, by the interna! rules of the faculty, and the conditions set by the UM doctoral school, which also sets the conditions for mentoring.
