How we work
Rankings and risk management
Rankings
Rankings help applicants, employers and international partners compare universities. The department prepares the university’s participation in national and international rankings.
- Choosing rankings — we assess which rankings fit the university’s profile and goals
- Data — we collect and verify indicators according to each ranking’s methodology
- Analysis — we compare indicators with requirements and prepare proposals for management
Risk management
The goal is to anticipate events that could hinder the strategy, the quality of education or the university’s reputation, and to plan measures in advance.
- Identification — units name the risks of their processes
- Assessment — likelihood and impact, position on the risk map
- Measures — every risk has an owner, a plan and a deadline
- Monitoring — the department tracks implementation and updates the register
