PARTISH

The main aim of the project is to improve university studies and lifelong learning orientation in Bosnia and Herzegovina through the development of part-time and short cycle studies and development of legal framework for introduction of this type of studies in order to support different needs and interests of students, companies, higher education institutions (HEIs) in different cantons/entities of BIH and to provide recommendations to HEIs for implementation of part time and short cycle studies in the entire BIH. Project outcomes will contribute to accomplishment goals, such as widening access to HE education, and making HE more relevant and adaptable to the labour market. The project objectives are: 1. To define the legal framework that will support the development and implementation of part-time (PT) studies and short cycle (SCHE) studies in higher education in Bosnia and Herzegovina. 2. To develop online and face-to-face (F2F) learning methodologies and technologies for PT and SCHE, suitable for adults and working students (they are found to be the most interested). 3. To set pilot implementations of five PT and SCHE online and face-to-face programs to test project outcomes.
