Inovation of Bachelor's and Related Master's Degree Programmes

INNOVATION OF BACHELOR’S AND RELATED MASTER’S DEGREE PROGRAMMES AT THE FACULTY OF ECONOMICS AND ADMINISTRATION OF THE MU

(CZ.1.07/2.2.00/07.0447)

Brief Project Description

With the economy’s growing requirements for education of the population, the importance of tertiary education grows as well. An ever-growing emphasis is laid particularly on language skills and computer technology literacy. In the tertiary education system, these requirements must be aligned with the implementation of the so-called Bologna process.

Innovation of the Bachelor’s and related Master’s degree programmes at the Faculty of Economics and Administration is solved by unique innovation of common study base while using key elements for increasing the graduates’ flexibility and creativity. Simplification of common study base (full-time and combined studies) will enable students greater individualization and specialization. In co-operation with partners in the process of innovation, it will be possible to enhance their chances in the labour market.

Re-definition and minimization of the common base of individual departments reflect the outcome of the survey which the FEA MU carried out in the labour market in 2007, when more than 200 companies were interviewed and defined their ideas about a graduate’s profile.

Project Objectives

The main objective of this project is complex innovation of Bachelor’s and following Master’s study programmes, which would produce qualified graduates with relevant expert knowledge, who will be capable of flexible response and adaptation to the changes in the labour market.

The key element of the innovation process is an overall re-definition of the common base of individual programmes in the form of subject modularization. Subjects will be divided into several semester modules, which will allow students to complete the subject based on their individual starting knowledge. This will allow for a simpler and more efficient system of Bachelor’s and following Master’s degree studies, for both full-time and combined forms of study.

The element of modularization is complemented with the establishment of a new system of optional subjects which will support enhanced profiling of particular students with regard to their study disposition, interests and future profession. The project reflects specific objectives declared in OP EC 2.2 to interconnect the innovation process with the needs of the labour market, with significant participation of partners (“co-sponsors” of common base re-definition). Thus, alignment of the new concepts of study programmes with the requirements of the professional sphere will be ensured. This aspect is important not only for the full-time, but also combined studies, where the symbiosis of theory and practice is even greater.

Foreign language studies will also be modified with the aim of adaptation to the already achieved knowledge of individual students. Placement tests will be used for this purpose, based on which students will be recommended study plans for given foreign language.

To develop active language skills, an offer of optional subjects taught in foreign languages will be available.

The secondary output of the project will also be newly designed study materials with an emphasis on e-learning, which will allow both students and lecturers to make more use of the available ICT elements.
