Quality Assurance (QA) can be defined as the set of internal processes related to the design, management and self-evaluation of educational and scientific activities, including internal and external forms of verification, which aim at improving the quality of higher education respecting the responsibility of universities towards society.
The AQ model that constitutes the reference for the definition of their own AQ system by Italian universities has been defined by the National Agency for the Evaluation of the University and Research System (ANVUR) in the Periodic Accreditation document of the locations and Degree Courses and in the supporting Guidelines, referred to on the following page:
To ensure quality, each University must make use of the activities carried out by the University Quality Control (PQA), a structure that supervises the performance of QA procedures at the University level, in the CdS and in the Departments, based on the guidelines formulated by the Bodies of Government, ensuring the management of internal and external information flows and supporting the action of the structures. Composition and functioning of the PQA are autonomously defined by the individual universities.
The new composition of the Quality Assurance Committee meets systematically (on average weekly) to accompany the University in the implementation of Quality Assurance processes). In particular, the Quality Control Board has approved its Annual report at the meeting of 18 September 2024.
