ShareCross-sectional reports
AQU Catalunya has begun a series of cross-sectional studies to analyse the status of recognised degree programmes and provide valuable information on higher education and the university system in Catalonia. This is in addition to the findings of the quality assurance procedures that all recognised programmes undergo.
More than a decade after the University Master’s Degree in Teacher Training was first started, receiving its first accreditation in 2015 and renewal in 2020, AQU Catalunya has published the Cross-sectional Report on this master’s degree programme, which aims to assess how the quality of this master’s degree has evolved, as well as its strengths and weaknesses. In particular, the report shares the results of the master’s degree’s accreditation renewal as well as other data related to its running, such as the results of the survey of students’ satisfaction after completing the master’s degree, of the job placement survey and of the survey of education centres regarding the skills of the new teaching staff.

The coincidental timing of these reviews made it possible, on the one hand, for a uniform procedure to be applied and for there to be consensus as regards the assessment criteria for the ten reports drawn up by the external review panels and, on the other, for a series of conclusions to be drawn up regarding the main strong and weak points of Master’s courses taught at Catalan universities.
