- The AUDIT programme. The responsibility of moving forwards with the model for quality
For many universities the launching of the AUDIT programme by ANECA, ACSUG and AQU Catalunya in 2007 was viewed as an opportunity. Since then, however, the growing importance of internal quality assurance procedures in the process of programme adaptation to the EHEA has become unquestioned.
At the present time, however, we are faced with the challenge of moving beyond the statement of intention to the assessment of the real usefulness of AUDIT for higher education institutions. Suffice to say that, despite the difficulties over the last few years, the experience in the case of the Ramon Llull University (URL) has undoubtedly been positive in many aspects, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it has been fundamental in certain cases for integrating different QA policies and strategies developed up until now for degree programmes.
