Quality of the degrees

Design of the degrees

The project for implementing an official degree programme adapted to the EHEA consists of four clearly differentiated stages, shown on the Internal Quality Assurance System Manual's process map.

PO01

Define the course offering

PO02

Design official programmes

The UOC has designed and rolled out these internal processes to assure the highest quality standards within the framework for the verification, monitoring, modification and accreditation of recognised university degrees.

Responsible bodies

The programme design process involves the following bodies, which must ensure the quality of the proposals from the start:

Body	Responsibilities
Course Committee	Creation of the proposal
Planning and Quality Office	Specialist assessment of the quality of the proposals Consistency Assurance
Executive Board	Assessment and approval of the report to apply for the degree Assurance of consistency between the UOC's courses
