1. OBJECTIVES AND TASKS OF THE INTERNAL SYSTEM FOR QUALITY IN EDUCATION AT THE WROCLAW UNIVERSITY OF ECONOMICS AND BUSINESS

Continuous improvement of the quality in education is a process which determines the further development and strengthening of the position of the Wroclaw University of Economics and Business (WUEB) at the national or European levels in the field of education.

Numerous changes in the area of education have been introduced since the 2019/20 academic year. The most important of them was the construction of a separate non-scientific structure of teaching units at the University. In connection with numerous changes in regulations and procedures in force at the University, it became necessary to modify the Internal System for Quality in Education.

The following study, describing the Internal System for Quality in Education, emphasizes the cohesion of the introduced procedures and the need to respond to the changing needs of the socio-economic environment of the University, related to education.

The Internal System for Quality in Education is coherent with the mission of the university, enabling it to reach the level of a leading center of creative thought and economic education in Europe. It is based on the educational quality improvement practices developed within the University as well as on national and European standards. A premise for its creation is the need to organize and link a whole range of processes and procedures for ensuring the quality of education in such a way that they contribute to a system oriented toward the development of a quality culture.

The main objective of the Internal System for Quality in Education at the Wroclaw University of Economics and Business is to continuously improve the quality of education by creating transparent rules for monitoring, evaluating and improving its processes. The University’s vision emphasizes the need to balance the pursuit of modernity, also in education, with a sense of social and ethical responsibility toward employees, students, graduates and the socio-economic environment. Developing full transparency and reliability in the field of education provides an opportunity to fulfill the tasks set by the Wroclaw University of Economics and Business.
