PhD Program in Educational Sciences

Documentation of title evaluation

Official Bachelor's, Master's and Doctorate degrees are subject to an assessment model divided into three phases that make up their life cycle (VSMA cycle): ex ante (Verification), during (Monitoring and Modification) and ex post (renewal of Accreditation). This assessment, review and improvement process is carried out with the aim of guaranteeing the quality of the degrees and ensuring that they comply with the requirements and criteria established within the framework of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA).

The model is included in the Organic Law 2/2023, of the University System (LOSU) and in the Royal Decrees of regulation of university education: fundamentally the RD 822/2021, which establishes the organization of university education and the procedure for ensuring its quality; RD 99/2011, which regulates official doctoral studies and the RD 640/2021, for the creation, recognition and authorization of universities and university centers, and institutional accreditation of university centers.

The official documentation of the degree evaluation processes that certify compliance with quality standards can be consulted in the following sections.

Follow-up

In line with the guidelines established at national level (RD 861/2010), the Canary Islands Agency for University Quality and Educational Evaluation (ACCUEE) establishes the Monitoring Protocol that the Official Degrees of the Canary Islands Autonomous Community must follow, which focuses primarily on the information that universities must publish and update, and on the importance of the Internal Quality Assurance System (SGIC) and the mechanisms designed to monitor them and their subsequent accreditation.

Accreditation

The Doctorate Program in Education will undergo the accreditation renewal process before the end of the sixth year from the verification date of the title or from the date of its last accreditation.
