The Measurability of Excellence - The Budapest Business School Model for the Achievement Evaluation of Practice-Oriented Training

摘要

Higher education can only meet the expectations of society if these expectations are well defined. It is the responsibility of the respective government authorities, the professional accrediting bodies, and, of course, the IHEs themselves to define these expectations. The general public - i.e. the society including the employers (the "users of the products of higher education" - can pass judgement about their satisfaction through different channels: the media, civil organisations, employers organizations and professional bodies. It is essential, however, for universities and colleges to gauge their own performance by constantly evaluating their own achievements. They have to improve continuously the quality of education and research in their institutions to survive in an increasingly competitive environment.
