Abstract

For today’s University higher and higher requirements are raised and certain criteria are thought of, by which activity results are measured. In many cases, quantitative, homogenies criteria are necessary indeed - because they show a concrete position among other higher schools. However, making efforts to conform to equal criteria, it becomes more and more difficult to find one’s distinctiveness among thousands of universities in the world and to guarantee the graduates that the representatives of Z generation will be prepared to be leaders. Homogeneous quality criteria – are the aspects, according to which from one starting point all higher education quality parameters are measured. The idea is worth, because it helps to rate institutions – they themselves and society members can get acquainted with activity results. However, within certain limits. A great number of features, thus remain unmeasured, unaccentuated, even not announced publicly. For mases, it is very convenient to open a popular rating page and in a second to get the necessary information - the number of a place of a higher school among the other similar schools – the reader very often even does not go deep in analysing, according to which criteria the evaluation was performed.
