The new European and national legislative framework itself, through the LOU, establishes that universities must ensure that their actions meet the objectives associated with the courses they teach and pursue their continuous improvement. As a result, universities must have policies, formally established and publicly disseminated, that guarantee internal quality.
To this end, the School has developed an Internal Quality Assurance System (IQAS), which on the basis of evaluations within the framework of the AUDIT program, received a positive assessment from the University System of Catalonia's Quality Agency, which is in accordance with the guidelines established in this program.
The research work of the school focuses on both basic research (linked to the academic world) and applied research (linked to companies and institutions).
To become international is to discover the plurality in oneself, while discovering the plurality in others. Traveling and meeting people, mixing cultures and languages, all contribute to our life experience and our growth as human beings and as professionals.
We equip you for change
