Degree in English Studies
Official Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctoral degrees are subject to an evaluation model divided into three phases that make up their life cycle (VSMA cycle): ex ante (Verification), during (Monitoring and Modification), and ex post (Accreditation renewal). This process of evaluation, review, and improvement is carried out to guarantee the quality of the degrees and ensure compliance 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 organization of university teachings: 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, of creation, recognition and authorization of universities and university centers, and institutional accreditation of university centers.
Official documentation on the degree evaluation processes, certifying compliance with quality standards, can be found in the following sections.

In line with national guidelines (RD 822/2021), the Canary Islands Agency for University Quality and Educational Evaluation (ACCUEE) has established the Monitoring Protocol that official degrees in the Canary Islands Autonomous Community must follow. This monitoring focuses, on the one hand, on verifying compliance with the project established in the current Verification Report in an initial post-verification monitoring (OTV). On the other hand, it verifies the implementation of the improvement plan developed after an external evaluation process, known as post-accreditation monitoring (OTR).
