The external evaluation report of the study program at the Faculty of Health and Social Sciences Slovenj Gradec evaluates two study programs: Nursing at the first level and Health and Social Sciences at the second level. A group of experts, appointed by the National Agency of the Republic of Slovenia for Quality in Higher Education, assessed the quality of both programs based on submitted documents, self-evaluation reports and a visit to the institution. The institution regularly publishes self-evaluation reports, which are crucial for the development and updating of study programs, although it was observed that the quality management system operates in a fragmented manner and sometimes the quality loop closure is not executed. A need for a thorough review of the quality management system and the development of more transparent methods for its presentation was highlighted. Information for improving study programs is collected in various ways, but there is a need for better documentation of these processes and greater involvement of teaching staff. The study programs are in line with European standards and societal needs, although it was found that the Nursing program at the first level could improve its selectivity and update its curricula. The second-level program in Health and Social Sciences would need a content overhaul, as the study directions are not specific enough. In the implementation of study programs, the institution is student-oriented, with some study obligations conducted remotely, despite the institution not having accreditation for such a form of study. Innovations in assessment and the qualification of staff that ensure the quality of education were observed. The tutoring system is appropriately established, but it would be beneficial to better document its operation. Practical education is well organized, especially in the area of clinical training in the Nursing program. The institution is recognized for its network of educational institutions and its student-centered approach. However, the need for didactical equipment updates and improvements in study literature and the methodology of student surveys was pointed out. The study programs meet quality standards, although opportunities for further improvements are highlighted. In response to the report (April 18, 2024), Faculty of Health and Social Sciences Slovenj Gradec (FHSS SG) has accepted the proposed improvements and has already begun to implement some of them.
