Sistema de Garantía de Calidad |

Presentation

The Internal Quality Assurance System (IQAS) in university institutions is one of the fundamental elements upon which the construction of the European Higher Education Area is based. The IQAS of the Faculty of Nursing has adopted as its reference the criteria and guidelines proposed by the National Agency for Quality Assessment and Accreditation (ANECA) for the establishment of an IQAS.

The scope of application of the SGIC of the Faculty of Nursing includes all the degrees that are taught and their managers, as well as those of future implementation.

The objective of the Internal Quality Assurance System of the Faculty of Nursing is to guarantee the quality of the new Nursing Graduate Study Plans implemented in the 2009-2010 academic year and future Bachelor's, Master's, and Master's Degrees taught at the Center, as well as the commitment of the Center and the University itself to the fulfillment and improvement of its teaching work.

The documents that make up the SGIC of the Faculty of Nursing are

He SGIC Manual (MSGIC), which includes the guidelines established by ANECA for the design of the Center's SGIC, together with Annexes 1, 2, 3 and 4 (“Process Map”, “Checklist for monitoring the implementation of the SGIC”, “Center's quality policy and objectives” and “Appointment Minutes of the Center's Quality Committee“, respectively).
He Procedures Manual, This document compiles the twenty procedures that are frequently referenced in the MSGIC, along with their corresponding annexes. The basic documents were prepared by the Quality Assessment and Improvement Unit (UEMC) as a framework document, which was subsequently customized by the Center to meet its specific needs, while ensuring compliance with the requirements of the accreditation proposal prepared by ANECA.

The SGIC Manual has been developed based on the proposal of the AUDIT Program (ANECA), which indicates that an SGIC must include, at a minimum, the following elements that affect university training:

Quality policy and objectives
Quality Assurance of training programs
Student guidance and development of teaching
Academic and teaching support staff
Material Resources and Services
Training results
Public information
