The faculty has many years of experience in delivering this course and is constantly updating the course content and teaching methods. This is also recognized by external stakeholders, especially companies in this region and graduate students. The course is academically oriented and includes no less than 12 areas of study, in which students can choose electives from any of the other areas of study. Student workload is monitored through self-evaluation reports and is reasonable. Recently, the Program Council was appointed in the Faculty Senate, which will continue the work of the Strategic Council and, in our opinion, will further improve the development of the study program. The program's earned accreditations - SQAA, ECBE, ACBSP, AACSB - and their re-accreditation demonstrate that the faculty and graduate assistants in the units of study have appropriate pedagogical and scholarly credentials. The director of the study program regularly monitors the performance of the students in the examinations. In order to improve the quality of the study program, he involves a wide range of stakeholders in his activities. They pay attention to the syllabi, quality of subjects, accessibility of literature and various platforms. It provides many opportunities for students to interact and collaborate informally with students from other disciplines. While this may seem rather obvious, the expert group highlights the potential value of such interdisciplinarity and multidisciplinarity for students and professors. The expert group believes that allowing students from different disciplines to communicate with each other (in) a formal way is a great advantage. This gives students more than one perspective on the same subject and allows them to discover other interests. Research in the Faculty is generally of a good standard, with some outstanding academics leading the way. 21 The Faculty of Economics, based on a decision of the Academic Affairs Committee, allows for the adaptation of the course of study for students with special needs. Students are allowed certain adjustments in both learning and writing exams. The adjustments are agreed upon on an individual level between the student and the instructor, which the higher education institution could make more systematic so that the student is not repeatedly presented and has to negotiate. Although the HEI allows students with special needs to study, it needs to strengthen the culture of awareness and acceptance of special needs among students and staff in the spirit of inclusion. Students can participate in many projects as well as academic and research activities. The projects in which students are involved (PKP, ŠIPK) are meaningfully related to the study program and thus add value to the studies. The lecturers work closely with the environment and often involve people from the field in the delivery of their courses, who present their work to the students. Students rated this as very positive and encouraging. The material conditions are adequate. The college provides a minimum of five copies of the compulsory study literature. Many learning materials are digitized and accessible online (Microsoft Teams). The college in a good manner informs prospective students about the study programme through its website and social media. The program is also presented at information days. The alumni club has a long tradition and conducts many activities. The website is transparent.
