May 2013

AQU Catalunya is commited to transparency in its works. This is reflected for example in the way we publish all our review reports, and the handbooks that explain the review process. The Agency wishes to go one step further in this direction and opens a public consultation process on the accreditation methodology that has to be adopted soon. The aim of the consultation is to get the maximum consensus with the stakeholders before aproving the final document. 

Contributions to this consultation from anyone with an interest in the quality assurance of higher education delivered by universities and colleges are welcome, such as:

• academic quality vice-rectors
• technical quality units
• prospective, current and past students, and their representatives
• academic and professional support staff
• others (employers and their representative bodies, professional, statutory and regulatory bodies, etc.)

The document that goes under public consultation has been presented to the universities and includes all aspects and elements that should be taken into account when accrediting programmes and awards that have completed the period of planned development in the regulatory framework.

In orther to parcitipate in the public consultation, interested people sould read the methodology:

 Guidebook to the accreditation of recognised Bachelor and Master's degrees (draft) [ca]
