This paper examines the application of agility in higher education institutions in response to increasing challenges in the higher education environment. The aim is to evaluate publicly communicated information on programdevelopment to understand how agility is used in higher education practice and to identify differences in its application across different types of higher education institutions. In the empirical study, useful documents from university websites are first identified and then examined for the presence of agility using a qualitative content analysis. The results show that of the 423 universities analyzed, 77 demonstrate the practical use of agility in course development. A subsequent comparative analysis between types of higher education institutions shows potential for improvement of agility in practice.

The quality assurance process for international studyprograms are developed taking in to account requirements on the national level, Bologna process, as well as international experience of EU partners. The establishment of successful studyprogram in engineering topics is analysed in the article. The quality assurance on international dimension, and development project quality monitoring activity plan for Erasmus plus KA 2 projects are discussed. The internal, external as well as international procedures are discussed. The quality control planning in cooperation with EU neighborhood region e.i. Western Balkan region countries, as well as Russia, Mongolia, Vietnam and Kazakhstan are discussed as examples for new academic programs and double diploma studyprograms.

Many countries having recognized the importance of engineering in economics are paying serious attention to education in this area. In order to meet labor market needs when developing engineering studyprograms are encouraged to consider the opinion of all stakeholders. In this paper, the authors first identify key stakeholders to be considered in the process of studyprograms development, then argue that online surveys are a preferable method of data collection for this purpose. After that, and being the focus of this paper, the authors address what to consider when planning such surveys by asking key questions and giving guidelines based on practices and experiences at universities, and continue by outlining some common pitfalls to be avoided when designing such surveys. Authors conclude with the presentation of the results of purposeful use of the proposed solutions in the form of curricula of improved Bachelor and Master degree studyprograms in both Information Security and Software Engineering as well as documents confirming their international recognition. Presented curricula, designed to meet all the requirements of international accreditation, in structure and content can be recommended for dissemination to other specialties and universities. Furthermore, described survey's methodology can be accordingly included in the content of studyprograms on management and pedagogy.
