  Basis for the decision

1. Standard 1 Criterion 1.1 Škoda Auto University was founded by Škoda Auto, a for-profit enterprise, and operates with a distinctive structure in which the Rector oversees academic matters while the CEO manages non-academic business activities. This unique arrangement allows the institution to be highly responsive to changing environmental conditions. Under the leadership of the new Rector, the university not only continues to connect students with practical, real-world examples but also places an increased emphasis on promoting research initiatives.
2. Standard 1 Criterion 1.1c. Skoda Auto University has an impressive track record of contributing to the community and promoting sustainability. The Ukrainian initiative, in particular, was later showcased and received high praise at the 2022 ACBSP Annual Conference in Washington, D.C., where it was recognized as an ACBSP best practice and a model for meaningful social engagement among member schools.
3. Standard 2 Strategic planning is deeply embedded in the organization's culture. Regular meetings are conducted to gather feedback, which is actively used to drive meaningful changes. The process is inclusive, ensuring that all stakeholders are engaged and their perspectives are valued in shaping the organization’s direction.
4. Standard 2 Criterion 2.2 Strategic planning at the institute is conducted on a regular basis, involving a wide range of stakeholders through various committees and roles on campus. Due to the close relationship with Škoda Auto, the institute periodically revisits and refines its strategic plan to ensure alignment with both internal and external developments.
5. Standard 3 Criterion 3.2 Škoda Auto University has an extensive integration of students into applied research projects and contract research with industry partners. This creates valuable learning opportunities and reinforces the connection between academic theory and real-world application. The university’s involvement in international research and mobility projects further enriches the student experience and enhances the global dimension of their education. This alignment with the industry and the community demonstrates the effective deployment of stakeholder feedback in a practical and impactful manner.
6. Standard 3 Criterion 3.3 A significant strength is the university's use of a Business Intelligence tool to analyze and monitor feedback. This indicates a data-driven approach to decision-making, allowing the institution to capitalize on both national and international best practices. By leveraging this technology, Škoda Auto University demonstrates an ability to gather comprehensive insights from various student and stakeholder groups, fostering continuous improvement.
7. Standard 4 Criterion 4.1 The systematic and detailed process for assessing both program and course learning outcomes is a notable strength. The use of Bloom’s taxonomy to define learning outcomes, the integration of external experts in evaluations, and the robust feedback mechanism for students all contribute to a high-quality assessment system. The inclusion of both formative and summative assessments ensures a multi-faceted evaluation of student competencies, while the continuous involvement of industry professionals provides valuable real-world insights into student performance.
8. Standard 5 Criterion 5.4.a The university encourages faculty development through various programs and reward incentives, including the Gender Equality Plan 2022-2024. The emphasis on scholarly activity, professional development, and student performance through flexible remuneration and bonuses improves the overall academic environment. This is a prominent strength of the institution.
9. Standard 6.1 Škoda Auto University's programs demonstrate a comprehensive approach, which blends theoretical knowledge, practical skills, and experiential learning opportunities. The approach prepares students for diverse and evolving business environments, ensuring they are well-equipped for success in their careers.
10. Standard 7 Criterion 7.4 The university’s commitment to inclusive education and its efforts to support students with diverse needs. The introduction of a "buddy system," tailored academic counseling, preparatory courses, and flexible study options are remarkable initiatives. These efforts contribute to reducing the failure rate and improving student success. The detailed attention to special populations, including students with socio-economic challenges and those with special educational needs, reflects a strong student-centered approach.
