Tempus ALIGN site visits - Ukraina - Sumy

Monday the 6th and Tuesday 7th of June saw us conducting Tempus ALIGN site visits in Sumy State University. Two programmes 'Computational Mechanics' and 'Management of Organisations and Administration' were peer reviewed, but from a developmental rather than an accreditation perspective. Thanks to our great friend and colleague Kostyantyn Kyrychenko from Sumy State for looking after us royally during our work! And thanks to all the members of our Sumy peer review panel - especially Iryna Skliar, Julia, Dasha, Michael, as well as our core panel members Stefania, Liza Sozinova and I, expertly chaired by Paul Hyland!

Sumy State University is working hard against geographical and regional challenges to take advantage of the international and mobility opportunities which will be presented over the coming years as education in Ukraina moves towards closer alignment with Europe's Bologna Process. Kostyantyn and his team are to be commended on their efforts!
