ShareAssessment of the design of the IQAS of Arts higher education programmes
In keeping with the transparency which is required of the university institutions and the higher education centres within the framework of the European Higher Education Area, the higher education institutions should possess internal quality assurance systems and policies (IQAS) for the training programmes which are offered, and they should be formally established and publicly available. Along this line, the Department of Education and AQU Catalunya have established the bases of the AUDIT-HAS programme for the orientation and assessment of the design of the IQAS of the centres providing higher artistic studies.
Methodology
AQU has drafted and published the Guide for the assessment of the design of the internal quality assurance system of arts higher education programmes. This document has a content and a structure similar to those of the Guide for the assessment of the design of the internal quality assurance system of university education in view of the general equivalence of the arts higher education programmes to university degrees. Nevertheless, AQU Catalunya has adapted some dimensions to the context of the arts higher education programmes and has incorporated the accumulated experience of recent years in the assessment of the IQAS of university centres.
