On 4 October 2025, the Institute of Social and Political Sciences held its second expanded Council meeting.

Council members reviewed arrangements for welcoming first-year students in the 2025/2026 academic year and supporting their adjustment to academic life. They also discussed the credit-module system, lesson analysis, administration of the HEMIS system and student attendance as part of the organisation of the teaching process.

The meeting also examined in detail the research capacity of departments, ongoing research, and the quality of course programmes, syllabi and teaching resource packages prepared by each department.
