Within the framework of the Erasmus+ KA2 programme – capacity building in the field of higher education, Academia Institute of Technology Maribor has secured participation in the European project PARTISH, which will be developed with the help of European partner universities. The project with the full title PARTISH: Development of Part-time and Short-cycle Professional Studies in Higher Education in Bosnia and Herzegovina , will begin on 15 January 2021 and will last 3 years.
Project summary:
Many students, for various reasons, do not complete their undergraduate studies at the expected age or cannot study full-time. The dropout rate is high and many students abandon their studies after one or two years. They need shorter studies that provide precisely defined knowledge for specific jobs with better employment opportunities. Many employers are looking for cost-effective yet qualified workforce for certain positions (avoiding overqualified and more expensive employees). Short-cycle professional studies can be a solution for such cases.
The project will provide a very important and missing component in the current higher education system in BiH, as they do not enable or legally support part-time studies and short-cycle professional studies. It will be necessary to establish legal foundations that will support the development and implementation of shorter or part-time study programmes. The adoption and implementation of appropriate online and traditional teaching methods is also planned.
As a final result, the short-cycle professional study system will become more appropriate and flexible to the labour market in BiH.
