There must be a minimum of 30 graduates in total over the last 2 years. At the Doctoral level, there must be at least 10 graduates in the latest 2-year period.Please list all the institution’s campus locations and mark the main campus (if any) by checking the box. If you list two or more campus locations, then you need to fill out Appendix 1 (Multi-Campus Operations) as well. If the applicant Programme is delivered in collaboration with other institutions (e.g., dual degree/joint programme arrangements), then you need to provide further detail in Appendix 2 (Collaborative Provision). 6.1.Entry requirementsDescribe briefly the entry requirements for the applicant Programme (e.g., qualifications, language skills, work experience). 6.2.Programme aims/objectivesDescribe briefly the general programme aims and objectives. 6.3.Programme ILOsIntended Learning Outcomes (ILOs) - specify what the students should know (Knowledge), should be able to do (Skills) and how they are expected to behave (Attitudes) by the end of the Programme. Please refer to Annex 7 on ILOs in the EFMD Programme Accreditation Process Manual Annexes.Strategic concernsIdentify 3 key issues for the Programme currently demanding management attention.Issue 1Issue 2Issue 3Profile of applicants and student intakes Complete Table 2 to provide the profile of intakes into 1st year of study (for the 3 most recent years) for each mode of delivery. The basis is the last academic year for which full data is available. If there is more than one intake per year (i.e., rolling admission), please enter the total intake per academic year.

This minimum must be met throughout the accreditation process and accreditation period. For Doctoral programmes, there must be a minimum intake of 20 students over the latest 3-year period. The number of years of work experience may not be applicable for Bachelor (or other first degree), certain specialist Master and PhD programmes. A programme is considered ‘online’ if at least 80% of its content is delivered over the Internet.A programme is considered ‘blended’ if its delivery combines online learning and face-to-face learning. A programme is considered ‘face-to-face’ if at least 80% of its content is delivered via face-to-face interaction on campus. Current student profile and progressionPlease complete a separate table for each mode of delivery and intake (unless they are fully integrated). The table should refer only to degree-seeking students.

For example, a one-year programme taken by a PT student over a period of 2 years = 0.5 FTE student. 24. FacultyThe term “faculty” designates the academic staff. Provide a readily understandable picture of the quality and quantity of the academic human resources available to the institution and used on the applicant Programme. If your faculty does not fit into the typology below, use your own classification in the text box following Table 9. Occasional speakers are not considered faculty, even if academically qualified. Definitions are given in the notes below.Table 9: Faculty Institution (e.g., school) wideApplicant ProgrammeCore facultyAcademic staff membersNo.: a + b + c + dFTE: r + s + t + uNo:FTE: Full professors No.: aFTE: rNo.:FTE: Associate professorsNo.: bFTE: sNo.:FTE: Assistant professorsNo.: cFTE: tNo.:FTE: OtherNo.: dFTE: uNo.:FTE:Female core facultyNo.: e(e/(a + b + c + d))*100 %No.:%Core faculty holding a doctoral degreeNo.: f(f/(a + b + c + d))*100 %No.:%Core faculty with foreign professional or study experienceNo.: g(g/(a + b + c + d))*100 %No.:%Number of different nationalitiesRatio FTE students / FTE core facultyxyz/(r + s + t + u)Core faculty hired in last 3 years (FTE)Core faculty departed in last 3 years (FTE)Adjunct facultySize of adjunct facultyNo.:FTE:No.:FTE:% of total teaching hours taught by adjunct facultyVisiting professors in current yearFrom foreign institutionsNo.:FTE:No.:FTE:% of total teaching hours taught by foreign visiting professorsFrom domestic institutionsNo.:FTE:No.:FTE:% of total teaching hours taught by domestic visiting professorsTeaching and research assistants on short-term contractsNo.:FTE:No.:FTE:If you are using additional faculty categories, please, provide a brief description in bullet points of the qualifications, experience, seniority and role that apply to each category.If a substantial amount of hours are taught by adjunct faculty, please specify their background (academic or practitioner). If there are no adjunct faculty involved in the applicant Programme, please provide an explanatory note.Give the number of visiting professors for the applicant Programme as well as institution-wide. If there are no visiting professors involved in the applicant Programme, please provide an explanatory note.NotesCore faculty: Qualified academic staff employed on a permanent basis and for whom the institution is the sole or principal employer. % Core faculty with foreign experience: % of core faculty (excluding foreign only passport holders) with significant professional/ work experience or study abroad (e.g., a complete degree) which entailed living abroad for at least 1 full year (i.e., not made up of part years).Adjunct faculty: Teaching staff for whom the institution is not the principal employer, or who work for the Institution on a part-time basis under a permanent or an occasional contract or who work in another faculty/department/unit or part of the parent institution (e.g., in a Science Faculty). Visiting professors in current year: Academic staff who are core faculty at another academic institution and who visit the Institution to teach for not less than half a course/module. In describing the size of the faculty, the ‘full-time equivalent’ (FTE) is the total of faculty contract days divided by 5, assuming that 5 is 100% employment. For example, 5 faculty members with 3-day contracts would be the equivalent of 3 faculty members with 100% contracts. In this case, the headcount is 5 but the FTE is 3. The percentage of full-time employment refers to the number of contract days in the case of faculty members who are employed on a part-time basis. A four-day contract is thus the equivalent of 80%.25. Contribution of research or other intellectual development activities to curriculum developmentProvide an overview of the research, innovation, pedagogical development or other intellectual development activities (such as consulting projects, research seminars, workshops for faculty, etc.) of faculty members (core, visiting and adjunct faculty) – including research students as appropriate - over the past 3 years. Include examples of curriculum developments arising from faculty research. Indicate the average teaching load per capita per year of core faculty and indicate what percentage of their workload is allocated to research.
