Quality
The University has a Internal Quality Assurance System (IQAS) whose goal is to continuously review and improve the degrees it offers. The SAIC includes the planning and design of the educational offer, the review and evaluation of its development and decision making for continuous improvement. The SAIC also contributes to compliance with the regulatory requirements for the verification, monitoring and accreditation of official degrees.
Each School has a Quality Assurance Commission, which is a delegated body of the management committee of each centre for development of the Internal Quality Assurance System in the School.
