Abstract
The current research presents a qualitative analysis of the results of self-evaluation reports of University study programmes over the period of 2010–2015. The research aimed at revealing major facts concerning the problems and factors prevailing in the institution and, thus, restricting quality in studies; these features may be characteristic not only to a single but also to several study programmes. Analysis of the research data employed the method of content analysis, which enabled objective and systematic investigation of the features of the text, generalisation of information and formation of appropriate conclusions. The research results reveal key aspects of the curriculum design, learning outcomes and their assessment as well as highlight the goals to be achieved while focusing on improvement of the content of programme’s subjects/ descriptions, learning outcomes, student activities and assignment plan, clarification of originality of representation of a programme. The aspects of the study process and its evaluation are oriented to financial support, enhancement of internationalisation, improvement of assessment of students’ attainments. It is emphasised that the feedback process and its results should be improved in the management of a study programme. Also, striving for an effective system of management of a study programme, it is necessary to make the system of motivation of teaching and other staff more effective
