MASTER’S DEGREE IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES AND COMMUNICATION IN LANGUAGE EDUCATION AND PROCESSING (UNED)

INTERNAL ASSURANCE SYSTEM OF DEGREE QUALITY

UNED considers it essential to ensure the quality of all official qualifications of their programmes and services. To this end, it has developed a System of Internal Quality Assurance (SGIC), which has been certified by the ANECA. It includes the development of a set of guidelines by which the quality of teaching, continuous improvement and adequate response to the demands and expectations of all stakeholders is ensured.

The SGIC includes all processes that faculties / schools and other university services develop to ensure control and revision of the objectives of the degrees, the processes of access and admission of students, planning, monitoring and evaluation of the results of the training, mobility, academic counselling and job placement, the adequacy of academic and support staff and material resources, among others.

For the implementation of SGIC, UNED has created:

• A Statistical Portal, which provides information to the entire university community on both training results and the results of perception obtained through satisfaction surveys applied to the various stakeholders.

• A repository called the information system for degree tracking (SIT), which collects all the evidence of the operation of the SGIC.

The Office for information processing and the Quality office annually provide all this information to those responsible for the qualification, while reflecting and establishing improvement actions.

• Satisfaction and training results (Statistic Portal)
• Documentation of the Information System for the monitoring of the programme (SIT)
• UNED Internal Quality Assurance System (SGIC)
