self evaluation report - Universitatea de Ştiinţe Agricole şi Medicină ...

Extended cooperation with EU higher education institutions and research institutes for a stronger
competitiveness at the international level.
A proactive management at all levels (educational-research-administration), and in all departments and
faculties, as a coherent development, supporting a synergistic management decision and strategic action. The
quality assurance is a key element in improving the university management by a continue Plan-do-check-act
improvement cycle, risk estimations and reformulations of action plans.
The USAMV Cluj-Napoca top management surveys periodically the weak points and take actions especially on
aspects related to PhD programs, adaptation of study programs to more pragmatic and recent aspects of
science and technology, student-centered education based on more practical skills and improved
competences, consideration of students’ opinions in improving curricula, gain in reciprocal confidence for a
gain in quality and responsibility for the relation teacher-student.
The risks related to the change of legislation, changes in labor market and local economy performances under
current European economic crisis can be minimized by a flexible management and a coherent strategy.
Considering the strong and weak points of the University actual performance, as well the opportunities and
risks, we consider that this self evaluation process, followed by the external evaluation by EUA, is a necessary
step for further improvements targeting our international competitiveness in the European higher education
and research area, as a competitive Higher Education Institution of “Advanced Research and Education”.
