On April 22–23, Ilia State University hosted the Foundation for International Business Administration Accreditation (FIBAA) expert panel for the on-site accreditation visit of the Master’s programme Higher Education Systems and Institutional Innovation (HESII).

The two-day visit brought together university leadership, academic staff, and programme stakeholders in a series of focused and constructive discussions. The process provided an important opportunity to present the programme’s concept, and its role within the university’s broader development agenda.

We are grateful to the FIBAA expert panel for their valuable feedback, and professional approach throughout the visit.

We extend our appreciation to our international partners who have been instrumental in the programme’s development, particularly the Higher Education Group at Tampere University. We look forward to further cooperation within this MA programme and beyond.
