Quality Assurance
Quality Assurance at the Departmental level: system and accountability
The Departmental system for Quality Assurance (QA) system is aligned with and collaborates with the University's QA System. The Departmental system works according to the guidelines designed by the University Quality Assurance Board (PQA), which supervises the implementation of all QA procedures.
Each Department’s Director is responsible for quality-improvement actions in Research and Third Mission and for quality-improvement support in Education within the Department. Each Department’s Director shares the responsibility for quality-improvement in Education with the Graduate-Program Coordinators and Doctoral-Program Coordinators.
Departments plan, monitor and review their activities in all its missions (Education, Research and Third Mission) through a departmental plan, which identifies goals and actions (specified into targets and indicators) aligned with the University’s strategic plan. Achievements are monitored and revised yearly. In doing this, the Department’s Directors are supported by Departmental Commissions for Research and Third Mission.
All plan-related documents are approved by the Council of the Department, as scheduled by the PQA.
