The Biology and Veterinary Faculties of the University of Murcia have successfully passed the evaluation of their quality systems after the examination carried out by the National Agency for the Evaluation of Quality and Accreditation (ANECA).
Both faculties were submitted voluntarily to the Audit certification program, which evaluates the systems that university centers have to control their management in areas such as mobility, student practices, academic management, employment, teaching, etc.
Obtaining the Audit certification supposes to have an extra seal of guarantee of the quality of its services.
At the University of Murcia, the Faculty of Computer Science also has this recognition and at least three centers are starting preliminary work to obtain it.
In addition to being a seal of quality in itself, the Audit certification simplifies and expedites the accreditation of your official titles.
The accreditation of degrees to evaluate their quality is based on a complex procedure carried out by the ANECA and to which the undergraduate studies are submitted every six years (it may be seven or eight years depending on the number of credits of the curriculum);
while for the masters it must be done every four years and for the doctorate programs the established periodicity is six years.
The other great advantage of having the Audit accreditation, after the approval last March of a resolution that develops the Royal Decree 420/2015, is the establishment of the procedure so that the faculties and centers of the Spanish universities obtain the Institutional Accreditation;
a global quality seal that implies automatic accreditation of all your official studies.
Only those who have the Audit certification can apply for this Institutional Accreditation.
