Quality Assurance
Organizational Structure and Responsibilities of Departmental Quality Assurance
The Department's Quality Assurance (QA) system operates in coordination with the University’s QA System. It is structured according to the guidelines of the University Quality Assurance Office (PQA), which oversees QA procedures and acts as a liaison with the responsible peripheral structures.
Department Directors are responsible for implementing quality improvement policies in research, third mission/social impact, and for supporting teaching in degree programs and doctoral courses affiliated with the department. They share responsibility for educational quality improvement with Degree Program Coordinators and Doctoral Course Coordinators.
The Department plans, monitors, and reviews its activities across the three missions (teaching, research, and third mission/social impact) through a departmental plan, aligned with the University’s strategic plan. This plan defines objectives, actions, indicators, and targets. The implementation is monitored and reviewed annually, supported by research and third mission/social impact committees, which assist the Department Director.
The documentation related to planning, monitoring, and reviewing departmental plans is shared and approved by the Department Council according to the deadlines set by the PQA.
