Meeting between AQU Catalunya, the University QA Units Committee and the Committee of Vice-Rectors
An online meeting took place last week between AQU Catalunya and the University QA Units Committee to present an overall picture of the activities associated with the VSMA framework, the 2020 graduate employment outcomes survey project and the new EUC portal's website (the public and private interfaces), which is an improved version of the current estudis.aqu.cat portal.
The Agency also met online last week with the Committee of Vice-Rectors to present the final version of the Standards and Criteria for Institutional Accreditation document, which is to be submitted shortly for approval by the Institutional and Programme Review Committee.
The University QA units Committee is an advisory body to the Agency that comprises the heads of the quality assurance units at higher education institutions in Catalonia. The implementation of QA procedures and methodologies are coordinated through the Committee, which gives guidance on the Agency's different activities within the context of programme and institutional enhancement at HEIs in Catalonia.
The Committee of Vice-Rectors is an advisory body to the Agency formed of the heads of management of the vice-rectors (vice-chancellors) offices responsible for quality-related matters at higher education institutions in Catalonia that coordinates with AQU Catalunya in the strategic and institutional aspects of its activities and gives guidance on QA methodologies and procedures.
