ShareAnalysis of External Assessments of Arts Higher Education Programmes (2026)
The document provides an overview of arts higher education programmes based on information generated through assessment processes and other relevant sources in the field. This makes it possible to identify trends, characterise the system and facilitate comparisons with similar studies conducted in the university sector and at European level.
Specifically, the document notes that arts higher education programmes in Catalonia have undergone significant consolidation over the past decade, alongside the implementation of external quality assurance processes. The main strengths identified include the consolidation of measures to ensure that teaching staff have appropriate academic qualifications and professional experience, the practical focus of learning processes, and the quality of student support services. In addition, strong links with the arts and cultural sectors provide distinctive added value to these programmes. However, the study also highlights structural challenges that continue to affect the sector's development. These include the need to strengthen the academic and research dimension of institutions and to foster a quality culture shared by the entire educational community.
