AQU Catalunya’s duties include the issuing of institutional accreditation reports on university centres to validate their suitability to carry out their educational activities. According to Royal Decree 640/2021, of 27 July, there are two main requirements that university centres must meet in order to obtain institutional accreditation. The first is to have renewed the initial accreditation of at least half of the official bachelor’s degrees, half of the official master’s degrees and half of the official PhD degrees awarded there. The second requirement is to be certified for the implementation of its internal quality assurance system (IQAS), which aims to continuously improve the education and training offered to students.
AQU Catalunya has informed the Ministry for Universities’ Register of Universities, Centres and Degrees (RUCT) that the school teaches and coordinates six bachelor’s degrees and one master’s degree, all of which have obtained accreditation. In addition, on 29 January 2025, the Agency certified the faculty’s Internal Quality Assurance System for a period of 6 years. As a result, AQU Catalunya’s Institutional and Programme Review Commission (CAIP) has issued a positive report on the Vilanova i la Geltrú School of Engineering at the Technical University of Catalonia. The centre also obtained this positive report following an external visit, which confirmed its proper functioning during the IQAS certification.
Both the accreditation report and the IQAS certification report issued by AQU Catalunya can be found on the EUC Informes website:
AQU Catalunya submits the accreditation reports to the Council of Universities, whose decision-making body is responsible for the accreditation process. AQU Catalunya publishes the accreditation results and issues the accreditation seal and certification for the centre in question, both of which are available on the EUC Estudis website, where all the information on the quality of recognised university degree programmes in Catalonia can be found.
