Quality Assurance System

Presentation

The Internal Quality Assurance System (SAIC) (formerly the Internal Quality Assurance System - SGIC) represents the university's commitment to establishing and implementing a culture of quality in its educational programs, ensuring continuous improvement, and ensuring accountability.

It includes procedures designed based on the criteria and guidelines for quality assurance established in the EHEA (ESG, 2015), in national regulations and developed in the evaluation programs of quality agencies. They focus on activities related to the management, analysis, review and improvement of qualifications, teaching-learning focused on the student body, the teaching activity of the faculty, the satisfaction and opinion of the interest groups, the insertion labor of the people who graduated and the information public, among others.

Through the mechanisms and procedures established in the SAIC, the collection and continuous analysis of information and results relevant to the effective management of the title is guaranteed, as well as the participation of the interest groups.

Information on each of the SAIC procedures can be found in the following sections.

Quality Policies and Objectives of the Center

The design of the SGIC is an essential element of EUENSC's policy and training activities. Therefore, it sets out in advance the objectives it intends to achieve as a result of its implementation.

The basic objective of the SGIC is to guarantee the quality of the training offered by reviewing and improving its training program. This program is based on the needs and expectations of its stakeholders, who will be kept adequately informed. It will keep its own SGIC constantly updated in order to:

  • Raise awareness among the various stakeholders involved in teaching the Degree.
  • Respond to the interests of society through the training of its professionals.
  • Promote planning and organization in teaching programming and in improving the quality of teaching
  • Incorporate continuous improvement strategies.
  • Offer the transparency required within the framework of the EHEA.
  • Facilitate the accreditation process for the qualification implemented at the EUENSC.

Quality Manual

The Quality Manual (QM) constitutes the basic document that serves as a reference and from which all the necessary actions emanate to guarantee that the teachings provided by the center are in accordance with the guidelines that define them and satisfy the needs and expectations of the interest groups, especially the students.

The MC is the document that expresses in an orderly manner the scope of the EUENSC SGIC, and therefore constitutes its documentary basis.
