Summary/Abstract: In order to increase the quality of university education we consider it important to deal with the current trends of the quality system of education, which is a very demanding process conditioned by many factors. One of the tasks of Slovak universities within the process of a complex accreditation in 2014 was to develop learning outcomes in information sheets of study subjects in accordance with the National Qualifications Framework of the Slovak Republic (hereinafter NQF SR), which follows the European Qualifications Framework for Lifelong Learning (hereinafter EQF). There is a minimum of knowledge in the conditions of Slovakia to be used for developing and quality processing of results of education on the level of the study subjects (via information sheets)1. The aim of the study is to assess the quality of processing of the learning outcomes in the information sheets of the study subjects in relation to the formulated knowledge, skills and competences in the NQF SR. Through the content analysis we want to find out whether there is compatibility between the formulated learning outcomes on the level of the information sheets of the study subjects and capabilities formulated in NQF SR.
