Abstract
The project “Entrepreneurs for Tomorrow” aims to establish a new Master program for Sustainable Entrepreneurship in the Volga Region (Russian Federation). The program E4T has been already running for two and a half years in three main cities in the Volga Basin, (Nizhniy Novgorod, Samara and Saransk). Its main objective is to contribute significantly to a sustainable economic development of this region. This research focuses on the aspects of evaluation of international Master thesis in the program “Entrepreneurs for Tomorrow” within the framework of TEMPUS IV grant. The authors have developed a system of Master thesis’s evaluation and worked out a check list (an evaluation grid), which can be used as a basis for comprehending the criteria of marking the final thesis. The purpose of this work is to make master students’ outcomes assessment objective and accurate.
