Abstract

The quality management system at the University of Sarajevo is guided by the following principles: promotion of constant improvement of the quality of the study programmes and the application of the best educational approaches and practices. The Bologna process gives special importance to outcome based education (OBE), so learning outcomes are established as a new measure of institutional excellence, shifting a change in focus from "What should student do to successfully complete her/his studies?" to "What competences student acquired during her/his studies?" or more precisely "What can student do after finishing her/his studies?". In this paper, after basic information about outcome based education and the importance of this approach with the implementation of the Bologna process in the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), an overview of the approach to quality assurance and to study programmes improvements based on learning outcomes is given. Focus on learning outcomes enables the fundamental change of the focus from the teacher to the student, which is one of the foundations of the Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the EHEA (ESG).
