Quality Assurance

Quality assurance is an indispensable process that involves all those who work at the university. The progress made by each individual benefits the Athenaeum as a whole and stimulates the healthy confrontation that is necessary to make the social role played by the Athenaeum effective and concrete.

"QUALITY ASSURANCE" means:

• define quality policies in harmony and synergy with the university's strategic directions, and reliable and robust procedures through which the governing bodies can implement them;
• implement activities to ensure the effectiveness and efficiency of all the University's internal processes, primarily in the service of the quality of education and research;
• raising awareness among all those working in the university so that everyone's tasks are carried out competently and promptly, services are provided effectively, and records are kept to monitor and measure results.

• Quality Policy
• Strategic Plan
• Integrated Operating Plan

The processing of student evaluation questionnaires, divided by Department and Course of Study, is managed by the Management Control Unit and can be found here.

The reporting system for student opinion on teaching activities is described below.

In the context of enhancing the quality of training and research activities, the issue of in-service training for teaching staff assumes particular significance. There is a comprehensive understanding of the strategic importance of innovative teaching methodologies and technologies in supporting teacher training to ensure that teaching remains at a level that meets the expectations and needs of students. Given the University's commitment to prioritising student success, it is essential to adopt every available tool to facilitate this. This encompasses not only tutoring activities as outlined by current regulations, but also the provision of refresher courses for teachers and the development of strategies to bolster teaching professionalism. These strategies encompass pedagogical, teaching, and learning skills, with the aim of fostering the adoption of innovative teaching practices.

The periodic accreditation of university venues and courses of study, as outlined in Legislative Decree 19/2012, involves the verification of the requirements for quality, efficiency and effectiveness of activities undertaken.Periodic accreditation is required at least every five years for venues and at least every three years for courses of study.

The accreditation model for universities includes an on-site visit by the Commission of Evaluation Experts (CEV), which is conducted according to a peer-review logic in compliance with European legislation. The purpose of the visit is to verify the level of correspondence between the procedures developed by the university and the Quality Assurance requirements. The CEV's visit also includes an in-depth examination of a sample of the University's departments and courses, in order to verify the effectiveness of the Quality Assurance system developed and applied by the internal Assessment and Self-Assessment actors.
