2. TEMPUS

Tempus is the European Union’s programme which supports the modernisation of higher education in the Partner Countries of Eastern Europe, Central Asia, the Western Balkans and the Mediterranean region, mainly through university cooperation projects.

Information about the programme on the web-site of the Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency.

Project title: On-line Quality Assurance of Study Programmes (EQUASP)

Timing: 36 months

Project objectives:

  • To promote the design of student-centred technological study programmes (SPs), focused on the definition of learning outcomes consistent with the needs of the interested parties (IPs).
  • To bring the internal Quality Assurance (iQA) process of SPs in Russian Universities (RUU) into line with the European Standards and Guidelines (ESG) for QA.
  • To enhance quality of SPs in the RF and to increase their transparency and comparability, in order to allow all the IPs to formulate an informed assessment of the educational process offered by SPs and to enhance mutual trust in the quality of SPs.
  • To promote modernisation of higher education (HE) through an on-line documentation and monitoring system of SPs quality.
  • To obtain recognition by the competent national authorities of the iQA system and of the online documentation and monitoring system as adequate systems for the QA of SPs, in order to guarantee their dissemination among all the universities of the RF and their sustainability.
