- Monitoring the quality of university studies: a relationship of trust
Insofar as the universities are free to propose new programmes within the regulatory framework of recognised university degree programmes, they are also responsible for monitoring the development of all programmes of study that are proposed. This is being carried out by the universities that make up the higher education system in Catalonia. Taking responsibility for the work of monitoring makes it possible for them to self-regulate control over the systems for the evaluation and assurance of the quality of university studies, thereby making the work of the quality assurance agencies, AQU Catalunya in the case at hand, one of an advisory and supporting nature.
