Assessing the Quality of Students’ Acquired Competencies in a Master Programme

Abstract

Developing and monitoring the quality of the educational process in higher institutions is a key issue of the Bologna process. The aim of this paper is to present the results of an empirical study concerned with assessing the quality of the competencies gained by Master’s students in strategic financial management. Prior to this paper, a research study has been carried out to identify the managers’ perception of the Master’s students’ competencies and the results indicated that competencies in strategic financial management are crucial for future managers. The research is focused on improving the quality of the educational process by developing a wider base for communication with the Master’s students in order to help them develop better learning skills and to facilitate their forthcoming insertion in the labor market.
