All official university degrees must undergo the accreditation process within six years of their initial verification (or last accreditation), in the case of bachelor's and doctoral degrees, and within four years in the case of master's degrees.

Each year, the universities and AQU Catalunya jointly plan the external visits based on the degree programs that are to begin the accreditation process.

The accreditation process is structured in two stages: the external visit and the accreditation:

  • The external visit: this is the on-site verification of the operation of the degree program, which is reflected in the external visit report.
  • Accreditation: this is the issuing, by the specific commission for the field, of the report assessing the functioning of the degree program, the accreditation report, based on all the evidence available to AQU Catalunya, especially the external visit report.

Each year, our universities and AQU Catalunya jointly plan formal external visits on the basis of qualifications to be accredited.

The accreditation process is structured in two stages: the formal external visit and the accreditation itself:

  • The external visit is the on-site verification of the functioning of the degree course, which is reflected in the external visit report.
  • The Accreditation is the issuance by the specific departmental committee of the assessment report on the functioning of the degree, the accreditation report, on the basis of all the evidence available to AQU Catalunya, especially the external visit report.
