The panel found that the university has a modern and constantly evolving infrastructure. It provides excellent opportunities for both learning and teaching. In addition, the commitment of teachers to student-centredness and the continuous improvement of their teaching skills was emphasized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Council of EKKA recognized the newly implemented Research Group on Didactics and the Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship. Both are valuable initiatives for continuous improvement of teaching, learning, research, and competence enhancement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TThe Council found that in the future, the higher education institution should also set targets for the indicators of its activities to be able to measure their success and impact. There is also a need to increase research funding, the volume of applied research, and the involvement of lecturers in research and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rector of TKK UAS\u00a0<strong>Enno Lend<\/strong>\u00a0commented that the seven-year accreditation shows that the university is on the right track. \u201cWe have made appropriate decisions in the development of the higher education institution,\u201d he said. \u201cWe are grateful to the nearly 150 people in the university, as well as employers and alumni who represented us in the institutional accreditation process. We can be completely satisfied with the joint effort, as in the previous assessment seven years ago.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Necessary input for further activities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lend believes that completing all assessment standards is a great achievement. According to him, the panel\u2019s proposals will be sent to the members of the university for review and discussion. \u201cWe will get relevant proposals for the university\u2019s action plan from there,\u201d he said. \u201cThese recommendations and the observations received from the external environment of the university will give us the necessary input for further activities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Heli Mattisen<\/strong>, the director of EKKA, commented that TTK UAS has a very good co-operation with companies both at the level of study programmes and development activities. \u201cIn addition, it is a significant fact that the employment rate of the graduates is almost 100%,\u201d Mattisen said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All higher education institutions in Estonia must undergo institutional accreditation at least once every seven years. Institutional accreditation is an external evaluation, in the course of which the compliance of the management, teaching, and research activities and the study and research environment of the higher education institution with legislation, the goals of the educational institution, and the development plan is assessed. The evaluation is carried out by an international expert panel. Based on their assessment report the accreditation decision is made by the Quality Assessment Council. TTK UAS passed the institutional accreditation for the first time in 2015.
