On 19 January 2021, HERAS Plus Project organized and delivered mock-simulation interviews with the University “Kadri Zeka” in Gjilan (UKZ) representatives and the University stakeholders, which will be part of the experts review through the institutional accreditation process. A total of seven sessions were organized representing all the target groups that will interact with the accreditation expert team, including the senior management of the University, the quality assurance staff, the deans (heads of Programs), the teaching staff, students, alumni (graduates) and the industry/employers.

The exercise proved very useful for the university, as it served as a tool for identifying challenges and proposing actions for improvements.

This support is a part of the ongoing the activities with the UKZ Gjilan, which aim at strengthening the capacity of the University in meeting the standards and guidelines for quality assurance in the European Higher Education Area (ESGs).
