Quality assurance at University
In recent decades University of Mostar has added
a component of economic development to its
mission, accomplished largely through transfer of
university technology to existing or new
businesses. In education, two categories of
customers are identified. One is the Internal
Customers (students) who receive the services
provided by a faculty. The other category are
External Customers that include the industries
and government agencies which employs the
graduates.
8
In the developed management structure of the
University, the primary responsibility for
quality assurance are management of Faculties,
School, Academy and administrative units of the
University . The top management of an
organization unit must demonstrate its
commitment to establish and implement of the
quality management system and to continuously
improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the
system.

  project, stimulated discussion about the project,
  seeking experts to contribute to surveys, we used
  publications, international conferences,
  dissemination channels (radio and television)
