INTRODUCTION
This document includes a QC report on the meeting in Madrid on work and results of the WP3 “Creation of new curriculum for academic master studies in DBBT” within the task 3.3 ”New curriculum for academic master studies in the field of DBBT”.
The working groups consist of representatives of following institutions: UPKM, UNIBL, UNBI, SINGI, VISER, HTPSZ, VSB-TUO, UL, UPM, UTARTU, TVMREZA, JPETV and ATV.
Reference on Minutes of meeting
The report of QC on the meeting in the Madrid is as follows:
1. By decision of PMC and QB in Madrid it was agreed that EU project participants who were not directly involved in activities for accreditation nor were WP leaders should perform project internal quality check.
2. 4 WB academic and 2 WB vocational institutions submitted the list of courses with ECTS points and filled the agreed forms with the content for each course
Evaluated documents
Here are presented the ECTS tables of each institution. The ECTS points are correctly distributed, the teaching purpose, teaching outcome, description of courses, evaluation of students' activities was properly and clear stated, according to the EU educational recommendations. We approve the quality check
