The project focused on professional standards and appropriate qualification standards for university degree programmes (level 7) in the field of economics, especially in the areas of business informatics, tourism, accounting, entrepreneurship and international business, as well as institutional capacity building to ensure a high quality, interactive and efficient teaching process. Based on the qualification standards in the field of tourism, FTHM has developed an innovative graduate programme. The achievement of the specific objectives of the project is based on the ESG standards and the CROQF and included the strengthening of the competencies of teaching and non-teaching staff, the work of professional development centres, business counselling, public information and the general improvement of quality systems (creating a framework for institutional and financial sustainability).
