- In the programme of study, indicate the profile subjects of the respective pathway of study (specialisation),

The profile subjects are all compulsory subjects (A), i.e. Biblical and Classical Languages 1-4; Introduction to Theology 1-2; Biblical Theology 1-10; Practical Theology 1-10; Historical Studies 1-6; Systematics 1-6.

- For each learning strand/subject, define the learning outcomes and associated criteria and assessment rules so that all the learning objectives of the programme of study are met (these can only be listed in the Course Information Sheets under Learning Outcomes and under Course Requirements),

The information sheets of all educational units/subjects clearly describe the requirements for their completion as well as the learning outcomes (detailed characterisation of knowledge, skills and attitudes) that the graduate will acquire upon completion of the educational unit/subject.

- prerequisites, co-requisites and recommendations for the development of the curriculum,

The continuity of the individual profile subjects is logical and natural. There are no prerequisites in the classical sense, but the notation, numbering of the individual subjects is created in such a way that in the contents of the individual subjects the student progresses from the simple to the more complex.

The prerequisites for the subjects of the state examination are profile subjects and the completion of the compulsory educational parts/courses of the study programme.

- for each educational part of the curriculum/subject, determine the educational activities used (lecture, seminar, exercise, final thesis, project work, laboratory work, internship, field trip, field practicum, professional practice, state examination and others, or combinations thereof) suitable for achieving the learning outcomes,

The information sheets of all educational units/subjects clearly declare the educational activity by which RTF UJS ensures the achievement of the expected learning outcomes.

In most cases of educational units/subjects, the preferred educational activity is a lecture or a seminar, however, given the current epidemiological situation, we consider it necessary and natural to carry out these activities also in the form of online activities.

- Methods by which the educational activity is carried out - face-to-face, distance, combined (in accordance with the Course Information Sheets),

In the information sheets of all educational units/subjects, the methods of education are clearly declared as "face-to-face", with the possibility of an online form if this is justified for health and hygiene reasons.

- course syllabus/syllabus[1],

The syllabus in the information sheets of all educational parts/subjects, which are mostly implemented in the form of lectures or seminars.

- Student workload ("scope" for each subject and learning activity separately)[2],

In the preparation of the educational parts/subjects of the presented study programme, we have taken into account the workload of students, in accordance with the ECTS, depending on the credits allocated and the time scale in which the education will take place.

- Credits allocated to each part based on the learning outcomes achieved and the associated workload,

In the case of learning units/subjects with higher credits, where the hourly allocation of face-to-face teaching was not in line with the student's workload, learning tasks, assignments, outcomes are declared to be addressed by the student through guided self-study under the guidance of the teacher, and subsequent demonstration of knowledge or skills that have been predetermined in the formulation of the assignments.

- the person delivering the course (or a partner organisation and person[3]), with contact details,

Students on the RTEdm22 programme, regularly undertake lecturing outside the University. In such cases, they are evaluated by the pastors of the individual congregations of the Reformed Christian Church in Slovakia. Legacy services take place during major Christian holidays, and the evaluation is conducted and administered at the Reformed Christian Church in Slovakia. Contact details for individual parish offices: http://reformata.sk/adatbazis/gyulekezet/

- Subject teachers (or participating partner organisations and individuals) (may also be listed in IL subjects),

In the information sheets of the educational parts/subjects the responsible teachers are listed.

- Place of delivery of the course (if the programme of study is delivered at more than one site).

RTF UJS

[1] Teachers providing the course during the assessment shall allow the working group access to the course materials and the content of the individual learning activities.

[2] It is recommended to indicate the workload related to both contact and non-contact teaching in accordance with the ECTS Users' Guide 2015.

[3] E.g. for the provision of work experience or other learning activities undertaken outside the University.

Number of credits for compulsory courses required for the proper completion of studies: 221.

221 Number of credits for compulsory elective courses required for regular completion of studies: 56

Number of credits for elective courses required for regular graduation: 8

Number of credits for the final thesis and the thesis defence required for regular graduation: 8

Number of credits for state examination courses: 7

The rules, criteria and methods of assessment are transparent, communicated to teachers in advance, listed in the subject information sheets. The conditions for the completion of courses clearly declare the student's study and other obligations during the achievement of the learning objectives, the form of fulfilling the study obligations and the criteria for the evaluation of the sub-outcomes, products. Student assessment results are recorded, documented and archived. The rules and procedures of the assessment process are declared in the UJS Study Regulations https://www.ujs.sk/documents/%C5%A0tudijn%C3%BD%20poriadok%20UJS%202022%20-%20final,%20%C3%BA%C4%8Dinn%C3%BD%201.%209.%202022%20(1).pdf

During the course of the class, students receive feedback from the teacher and space to correct mistakes as well as guidance to eliminate them and achieve the set goal. Students have the opportunity to learn their own assessment on an ongoing formative basis in consultation with the teacher and summative through AIS.

Students have the opportunity to take advantage of tutor tutorials during each semester of study. Students have access to tutor consultations where examples of good practice show that students use tutor consultations to progress and achieve better results.

In the event of failure to meet the learning requirements, students have access to a minimum of one ordinary and two remedial terms, and have the option of sitting a board examination taken within three terms. The aforementioned regulations are declared in the UJS Study Regulations, as well as other procedures and rules related to credits, their accumulation and transfer. The administrative control of studies in the academic information system is carried out by the Study Department according to the procedures described in the UJS Study Regulations.

The UJS Study Regulations clearly describe the procedures and rules for the acquisition of credits, their accumulation and transfer, which is in line with the European Credit Transfer System. Similarly, the rules and procedures for the recognition of the completion of courses at another university are defined.

The UJS Study Regulations: https://www.ujs.sk/documents/%C5%A0tudijn%C3%BD%20poriadok%20UJS%202022%20-%20final,%20%C3%BA%C4%8Dinn%C3%BD%201.%209.%202022%20(1).pdf

The thesis topics are available in AIS.

The rules and procedures for assigning, processing, opposing, defending and evaluating final theses are declared and formulated in the Study Regulations of UJS.

- possibilities and procedures for participation in student mobility,

Study/research placement, which declares the support of both domestic and international student mobility. The UJS Study Regulations clearly describe the procedures and rules for the acquisition of credits, their accumulation and transfer, which is in line with the European Credit Transfer System. Similarly, the rules and procedures for the recognition of the completion of courses at another university are defined.

In order to increase the share of participants in Erasmus+ mobility, the Department for International Relations in cooperation with individual faculties of UJS regularly organises Erasmus+ information days and workshops, and offers the possibility of personal or online consultation. Promotional materials are distributed to UJS students and information is regularly published through the University's information tools.

The rules and procedures are formulated in the Rector's Directive No. 3/2014 on the organisation of Erasmus+ international mobility of students, teachers and staff at UJS, available from AIS UJS Documents/UJS-Legislation/Internal Acts of Management, 2018, Issue 10).

- Rules for observing academic ethics and drawing consequences,

The College applies rules and tools in the study programme to ensure research integrity and to prevent plagiarism and other academic fraud. According to the UJS Statute, plagiarism is considered an offence and is subject to disciplinary proceedings. The College identifies violations of research integrity, plagiarism and academic fraud and implements measures to ensure that violations of these rules are not incompatible with the award of an academic degree. The policies and procedures are described in:

   UJS RTF Statutes (2022), available at: https://rtf.ujs.sk/documents/Stat%C3%BAt%20RTF%20UJS%202022.02.14.pdf

   The UJS Code of Ethics (available from AIS UJS Documents/UJS-Legislation/Internal Regulations, 2013, Issue 11); and

   Disciplinary Regulations for Students (available from AIS UJS Documents/UJS-Legislation/Internal Regulations).

- Procedures applicable to students with special needs,

In line with the current trend, the University systematically seeks out and reaches out to students with specific needs and records an observable increase in these students. Students with specific needs are eligible for support services according to their specific needs. The rules and procedures are described in the Rector's Directive No. 7/2016 on Students with Specific Needs and the Responsibilities of the UJS Coordinator for Students with Specific Needs, available from AIS UJS Documents/UJS-Legislation/Internal Acts of Governance, 2016, Issue 9).

We do not currently have a student with specific needs at RTF. In the past, we had a student, and according to his statement, he did not respect any discrimination, but in fulfilling the curriculum, he was completely equal and equal in everything. His letter is available on the college website: https://rtk.ujs.sk/documents/minosegbiztositas/Referencia_duchovni_Reformovanej_diakonie.pdf and https://rtk.ujs.sk/documents/minosegbiztositas/Referencia_duchovni_Reformovanej_diakonie.pdf

- Student grievance and appeal procedures.

According to the UJS Statute, a student becomes a member of the academic community by enrolling to study one of the study programmes carried out by UJS or its faculty. As a member of the academic community on the basis of the UJS Statute he/she has the right to address suggestions, comments and complaints to academic self-government bodies - the procedures and rules of which are defined in their legislative documents. Students of the study programme have effective mechanisms for reviewing complaints seeking protection of their rights or legally protected interests, which they believe have been violated, or pointing out specific deficiencies in the activities or inaction of the university. The examination of complaints shall be transparent and shall be carried out with the participation of student representatives. Feedback shall be provided to the complainants on the outcome of the review and on the action taken

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 holds more than 2700 titles related to theology, the submitted study programme and related to the discipline. The university library uses the DAWINCI library information system, which is a modern library and information system integrating 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. The University Library organises workshops that support orientation in publishing databases and work with literary sources.

In the implementation of the RTEdm22 study programme, the Theological Professional Library of the Theological Institute of J. Calvin (TIJC) in Komárno is available for both teachers and students. TIJC is a scientific institution of the Reformed Christian Church in Slovakia. The library holds more than 35,000 titles of theological professional literature, mainly in Hungarian, Slovak, Czech, German and English. In addition, more than 170 professional periodicals are available in the library. A description of the library is available on the TJCA website: www.refteologia.sk

For the needs of distance education or combined education, the university has 4 servers with 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.

For distance learning, so far our students and teachers have made excellent use of the online platforms. BigBlueButton, Teams, Letsmeet, Zoom, Google Classroom, Redmenta, etc. have been used in the educational process.

In terms of providing educational activities in the study programme, our main partner is the Reformed Christian Church in Slovakia. The cooperation with the church takes place in the spirit of §39. of the Act on Higher Education No. 131/2002 Coll. A description of the Reformed Christian Church in Slovakia is available on the official website of the church: www.reformata.sk

Another partner of our faculty is the Theological Institute of J. Calvin (TIJC). TIJC is a scientific institute of the Reformed Christian Church in Slovakia. TIJC provides us with the ecclesiastical and professional background for our activities. In addition to being a permanent partner in the organization of scientific and professional conferences, it provides convocation lectures, i.e. experts for our students on a personal basis. A description of the TIJC is available on the TIJC website: www refteologia.sk

In the course of their studies, UJS also provides its students with a stimulating environment. UJS effectively manages and operates the UJS Student Homes, where it provides comfortable accommodation for the University's students, with suitable conditions for quality living with adequate hygiene standards and safety. The UJS campus includes a multifunctional playground enabling students to spend their leisure time and play sports in a meaningful way.

UJS also provides students with catering in the building of the UJS Conference Centre. In the Sports Centre of the University, students have the opportunity to play sports and implement other leisure activities.

The University also aims to provide opportunities for cultural, social and spiritual activities. Young talents find their application in the Cantus Iuventus choir. Students have the opportunity to attend the chapel set up in the Čajka School.

Especially for the students of the Reformed Theological Faculty, a church background is provided in the Reformed Christian Church in Slovakia - in the Komárno church choir. Students of the RTEdm22 program - outside of the curriculum - serve weekly in worship at the Reformed Church in Komárno. The student government organizes weekly Bible classes at which students serve. Theological oversight is provided by the faculty's spiritual director.

UJS offers its students foreign study mobility within the Erasmus+, Makovecz, CEEPUS and various internship programmes offered by the Balassi Institution (Mobility Grants of the Ministry of Human Resources of the Republic of Slovenia).

Currently, UJS has 118 concluded bilateral agreements, memoranda and inter-institutional agreements with 63 partner institutions in 15 European countries as well as inter-institutional agreements in partner countries outside the EU within the KA107 activity.

The Department for International Relations in cooperation with UJS faculties regularly organises Erasmus+ information days and workshops, and offers the possibility of personal or online consultation. Promotional materials, leaflets and brochures are distributed to UJS students. At the same time, the UJS Department for International Relations regularly publishes information about its activities on the Erasmus+ UJS website and mass mails information to UJS students, teachers and staff via the University's information tools. Linguistic support for students is provided through the Erasmus+ On-line Linguistic Support (OLS) tool.

Students were given the opportunity to express their views and comments in the designated text box of the questionnaire in the AIS. The questionnaire was made available to the students from 01.02.2021 to 30.04.2021 and from 01.05.2021 to 15.07.2021. It was only possible to fill it in during the defined period. The students entered the system and presented their views and insights under their identification number. This 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. On average, students evaluated 21 teachers and expressed their opinion about 70 subjects. This average is the average of the last 3 surveys. The questionnaire in electronic form is primarily used to speed up the subsequent processing of the data collected. The obtained data and the overall evaluation of the results were processed by the dean's office of the RTF UJS and subsequently reported to the individual departments. The conclusions of the evaluation were reflected in the teaching at RTF UJS for the following period.

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 served to find out the general opinion of students about RTF UJS. The level of teaching at RTF UJS was found out (What is your opinion about the level of teaching at RTF UJS?)

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 RTF UJS.

As a feedback, we also asked the main employer of our graduates, i.e. the Reformed Christian Church in Slovakia, to express their opinion about our graduates at the church-wide, eldership and congregational levels. The individual constituent bodies of the employer, i.e. the organizational structural units of the Reformed Christian Church in Slovakia, provided positive references about our graduates. They are satisfied with the work of our graduates, their professionalism, skills and abilities for the job. The feedback mentioned above is available on the RTF UJS website:
