Quality
Since its inception, Blanquerna-URL has demonstrated its commitment to ensuring the quality and excellence of the studies it imparts.
The new European and national legislative framework, through Organic Law 2/2023, of March 22, on the University System (LOSU), establishes that universities must define, structure, and develop internal quality assurance systems for their academic activities (Article 3.2.o), and that, through these systems, they must ensure the academic quality of the activities carried out by their teaching centers (Article 5.3).
To this end, the Schools have developed the Internal Quality Assurance System, assessed within the framework of the AUDIT program and with a favorable rating by the Agency for the Quality of the University System of Catalonia (AQU Catalunya).
