Megatrend: Measures implemented to remove faults

BELGRADE - The Megatrend University released on Thursday that it has filed the response to the Commission for Accreditation and Quality Control (CAQA) listing the measures implemented to remove the faults concerning PhD theses.

In the release, the University says that the public address by CAQA top officials and presentation of the parts of their analysis was damaging to the Megatrend University because it contributes to the impression that Megatrend has not fulfilled its obligations concerning the improvement of quality and removal of faults and is the only institution with has faults in operation.

Through the release, Megatrend responded to the CAQA report in which the Commission established that the PhD theses written at the Megatrend University are not satisfactory because most of them were not preceded by a publication of papers in an academic journal of reference.

Megatrend officials say that PhD are realised in keeping with valid legal conditions and standards and that CAQA conducted the quality control at the university on February 21, while the report was filed on July 10. The University officials also say that the quality control analysed certain issues that do not fall within the control period.
