He has professional theoretical knowledge in the field of supervision, management and designing in social work supplemented by practical skills acquired through professional practice.

Can recommend current approaches to solving problems arising in practice as well as in social work research and take a critical stance on the activities and processes undertaken in social work. The graduate is able to research, approach, interview and select effective approaches to motivate collaboration.

The training will enable graduates to receive an education that is fully compatible with similar fields of study around the world; their skills and competences will be suitable for eventual employment in these fields and in EU countries or in other parts of the world.

On the basis of the Slovak Qualifications Framework in the European Higher Education Area, graduates of the study programme belong to level 7, as they will receive a university diploma, a certificate of state examination and a supplement to the diploma. The individual has general knowledge at assessment level. Professional knowledge: methodological knowledge in several areas of the field and practice, serving as a basis for innovation and originality in practice and research. Cognitive skills: to propose and evaluate solutions to methodological, professional, practical and scientific problems in a range of disciplinary and practice areas. Can formulate recommendations for the development of a given scientific and professional field. Can make scientific or practical assumptions about problem solving. Practical skills: the graduate can implement and evaluate solutions to methodological, professional, practical and scientific problems in several areas of the discipline and practice. The student is able to develop guidelines, implementation projects and evaluation procedures for activities in the field.

b) - The institution indicates the professions for which the graduate is prepared at the time of completion and the potential of the study programme from the point of view of graduate's employability.

Graduates of the Misiology, Diaconal and Social Care programme can find employment as:

- caregiver, personal assistant, consultant in a community centre in the field of social care,

- social worker in church services.

Graduates meet the qualification prerequisite for the professional activity of a social work assistant (Act on Social Work 219/2014 Coll., § 5, paragraph 1, letter b).

Graduates of the study programme, when assessing their employability on the labour market, could be classified in the category "0929 social welfare not elsewhere classified", because missiology and diakonia is such a specific field in the ministry of the church, which is not exactly classified in ISCED-FoET 2013. Our graduates are able to social care for the aged, the disabled, the needy, as well as for children. In this respect, they would belong to the category "092 Social Welfare", but the study programme is implemented in the study area 37 Theology. The vocation of missiologists and deacons is so specific and narrow that it is not possible to clearly classify them in the established groups of disciplines. If a nurse or social worker is able to help the needy on the physical and bodily level, the deacon and missiologist, in doing so, deals with the soul of the needy person in question.

c) - Relevant external stakeholders who have provided the statement or a favorable opinion on the compliance of the acquired qualification with the sector-specific requirements for the profession.
3. - Employability
a) - Evaluation of the study programme graduates employability.

The library provides access to the study literature for the study programme, at least in the scope of the compulsory literature listed in the course information sheets. At present, UJS University of Applied Sciences has more than 12 206 titles related to pedagogy, psychology, sociology and the submitted study programme related to the field. The university library uses the DAWINCI library information system, which is a modern library and information system that integrates the latest elements from the field of server applications, database systems, document management and, in conjunction with the knowledge and experience of libraries, translates them into a comprehensive multimedia library and information system. The system provides users with access to individual library collections through the OPAC on-line catalogue via the website. The UJS University Library, similarly to other university libraries, is included in the central register of publication activity registration for the needs of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Slovak Republic. Access of students and lecturers to the necessary databases is also solved by remote access via CVTI SR. Access to foreign scientific journals available in the online databases of individual publishers is also provided through this access.

c) - Characteristics and extent of distance education applied in the study programme with the assignment to courses. Access, manuals of e-learning portals. Procedures for the transition from contact teaching to distance learning.

For the needs of distance education or combined education, the university has 4 servers with the BigBlueButton videoconferencing system in operation. An alternative tool for distance learning is the MS Teams platform, as part of the Office 365 A1 for faculty package, which is available to all teachers and students. Back in 2015, an e-learning system based on the open-source LMS Moodle was created and put into operation at UJS. This system was partially integrated with the WeBWorK system in 2017. This comprehensive system was also operated in 2019. Moodle continues to offer the possibility of publishing study and support materials for individual subjects, the possibility of assigning homework and electronic testing of knowledge in an authorised zone. In addition, WeBWorK gives the possibility of automated generation, submission and evaluation of mathematical assignments. In addition to the wired connectivity available in the ND, UK and other selected locations, students in all UJS buildings have access to the Internet via a WiFi network. A person's authentication (login and password) is required to connect to the network. A central printing system was introduced in 2016 and is also available to students. Students are able to add credit to their accounts in the UJS cashier's office.

d) - Institution partners in providing educational activities for the study programme and the characteristics of their participation.

In terms of providing educational activities on the study programme, the main partners are social facilities where the practice of RTF UJS students is carried out.

10. - Feedback on the quality of provided education
a) - Procedures for monitoring and evaluating students' opinions on the study programme quality.

Among other things, the students had the opportunity to express their opinions and comments in the designated text field of the questionnaire. The questionnaire was made available to students in the summer semester from 30 May 2020 to 30 June 2020, in the winter semester from 15 December 2020 to 05 February 2021 and could only be completed during the defined period. Students entered the system and presented their opinions and observations under their identification number. In this way, it was ensured that each student could complete the survey only once, while the module implemented in AIS2 guaranteed the anonymity of the respondents. Only the questionnaire intended for the respondent was made available to the respondent. The questionnaire in electronic form served primarily to speed up the subsequent processing of the data collected. The obtained documents and the overall evaluation of the results were processed by the dean's office of RTF UJS and subsequently informed the individual departments. The conclusions of the evaluation were reflected in the teaching at RTF UJS for the following period.

b) - Results of student feedback and related measures to improve the study programme quality.

The developed questionnaire consisted of three parts: part I - general part (1 question) part II - evaluation of the teaching process and subjects (2 questions for each enrolled subject) part III - general part - comments and suggestions.

The questions in the first part were used to find out the general opinion of the students of UJS. The level of teaching at UJS was ascertained.

Students' responses to the question on the level of teaching at RTF UJS show that students are generally satisfied with the level of teaching at the faculty. They consider the flexibility and high level of quality of the teaching process as positive.

The results of the evaluation of the survey were presented at RTF UJS. Information about the evaluations was provided to each lecturer as well as to the Head of the Department and the Dean of the Faculty via the Academic Information System as well as text evaluations, students' suggestions and comments on individual courses and lecturers were made available. The purpose was for the lecturer to make the results of the student evaluations more effective and efficiently reflected in the teaching, as well as to increase the quality and level of teaching at RTF UJS in the next period.

c) - Results of graduate feedback and related measures to improve the study programme quality.

We also asked employers of our graduates as feedback. Social institutions, namely Social Services Vrba n.o. and Adm. day care centre, provided us with their evaluations and opinions. M. A. de Ruyter. Both employers provided positive references about the graduates. The employers are satisfied with the work of the graduates, their professionalism, skills and abilities for the job.
