Guide to the assessment of additional dimensions in the accreditation of recognised bachelor’s and master’s degree programmes.pdf (2 MB)
The aim of this guide is to provide an explanation of what these dimensions consist of in order to allow interested parties to assess whether it would be appropriate to apply for the respective accreditation, whilst detailing the entire assessment procedure that has been designed on the context of the European Standards and Guidelines (ESG) (ENQA, 2015).
Accordingly, by lending priority to the improvement of information available to the actors involved (students, universities, etc.), and to the improvement of the quality of the degree programmes, AQU Catalunya is allowing for the possible accreditation of three additional dimensions in those degree programmes where they have a particular impact. To be precise, the dimensions incorporated in this guide are as follows:
- Employment outcomes and development
- Interaction between research and teaching
- Internationalisation
