Summary/Abstract: This paper presents the results of research on “The Quality of Teaching in Higher Education”, exploring students’ status at the university, with the emphasis on their position in the teaching process. The questionnaire was based on 15 higher education quality criteria, and the participants (203 teachers and 469 students from the University of Rijeka) assessed the difference between “ideal” teaching (assessment of the relevance and contribution of each criterion to successful university teaching), and “real” teaching (the extent to which every criterion is respected in actual teaching at the university. The results show a statistically significant difference between “ideal” and “real” in seven (from 15) criteria, according to the teachers. According to the students, “ideal” and “real” differ statistically on every criterion. Indicative results with significant implications could be perceived when “ideal” and “real” were comparedbetween students and teachers. The Mann-Whitney U test shows statistically significant differences according to 7 criteria in ”ideal” teaching.
