In accordance with current legislation, all universities must submit their official degrees to a process of verification, monitoring and accreditation to the ANECA (National Agency for Quality Assessment and Accreditation of Spain).
In the case of the UNED, the Council of Universities receives the degree report and sends it to ANECA for its evaluation and issuance of the Verification Report. If the report is favorable, the Council of Universities issues the Verification Resolution, and the Ministry of Education submits to the Government the proposal for the official nature of the degree, orders its inclusion in the Registry of Universities, Centers and Degrees (RUCT) and its subsequent publication in the Official State Gazette.
Official master's degrees must renew their accreditation within six years from the date on which the degree was first offered or the previous accreditation was renewed, in order to check whether the results obtained are adequate to guarantee the continuity of the degree. If they are adequate, the Council of Universities issues a Resolution of accreditation of the degree.
These resolutions and reports are recorded in the Registry of Universities, Centers and Degrees (RUCT, Spanish acronym, https://www.educacion.gob.es/ruct/home).
