The Degree Internal Quality Assurance System (SAIC) (formerly the Internal Quality Assurance System -SGIC-) includes the procedures established in Annex II of RD 822/2021, giving a specific response to the corresponding sections of the Verification Report /Modification of official qualifications:
Through the mechanisms and procedures established in the SAIC, the collection and continuous analysis of information and relevant results for the effective management of the degree is guaranteed.
Information on each of the SAIC procedures can be found in the “procedures” section.
The bodies responsible for the SAIC assume the commitment to guarantee the quality of the degrees taught at the university and its centers and to ensure the continuous improvement of their results. They are structured on two levels:
Institutional
Direct and promote the implementation and development of the SAIC, insofar as they represent a reinforcement of the quality guarantee and continuous improvement of the centers and degrees, facilitating the processes of monitoring, accreditation and certification. Likewise, it is responsible for providing adequate institutional support for the development of evaluation and quality programs, guaranteeing their sustainability over time.
The Quality Assessment and Improvement Unit (UEMC), and its Quality Technical Unit (UTC), are responsible for the management and planning of the SAIC design, implementation and assessment processes, necessary to guarantee continuous improvement in the center and its qualifications, as well as the achievement of the established objectives, responding to the needs and expectations of the interest groups.
Likewise, the UTC is responsible for preparing and providing the framework documentation related to the evaluation and quality programs, and for providing technical advice and training to the agents involved. It promotes the development of processes through adequate coordination with academic and quality managers, commissions, self-assessment working groups, quality agencies and other bodies/entities involved.
Center/Degree
This body and, in particular, its Dean or Director, assumes the responsibility of directing and promoting the evaluation and quality programs in the center. A Center quality manager is part of his team, who will be in charge of coordinating and developing the management of the processes related to the implementation and evaluation of the SAIC and the evaluation of degrees.
Those responsible for quality of the centre/degree, who will be integrated as members of the Quality Commission, will exercise general coordination functions, among which the following stand out:
