Reaccreditation
Reaccreditation is the verification, based on an external visit, that the degree is being developed as the verification was planned.
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.
For the 2024-25 academic year, Euncet is expected to undergo the reaccreditation process for its Master's Degree in Business Administration, for which reason, the programmed calendar is as follows:
- Deadline to submit version 1 self-report to GPAQ for technical review: 28 January 2025
- Incorporate GPAQ comments and elaborate version 2Hearing: February 10 to 14, 2025
- Public exposure and ORG approval: 17 to 25 February 2025
- Delivery of final version to GPAQ: February 26, 2025
- Expected date for external AQU site visit: second half of April 2025
Public exposure
If you want to give your opinion or make a suggestion you can send an e-mail to a acreditacio@euncet.com.
Final report
Once the public exposure period was over, a new meeting of the IAC was called on February 26 in order to evaluate the public exposure phase and any comments or suggestions that may have been made in this regard, and at the same time to give final approval to the self-report in order to submit it to the relevant higher bodies.
Following the approval of the Self-Report by the CAI, the Quality Commission and the Permanent Commission agreed in session on February 26, 2025 to give final approval to the self-report.
Visit
In the second half of April 2025, the visit of the CAE (External Evaluation Committee) is scheduled for the second half of April 2025, and the agreed program is shown below:

The open hearing is a space of time for all those who have not been invited to the meetings of their group to express their opinions to the CAE if they wish.
Accreditation
Accreditation is the verification by means of a formal external visit that the degree is being developed as the programme was planned.
All official university degrees must go through the accreditation process within a period of six years, counting from their initial verification (or last accreditation), in the case of undergraduate degrees and doctorates, and within a period of four, in the case of master’s degrees.
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.
In the course 2019-20 academic year it is expected that Euncet will undergo the accreditation process of its two master’s degrees (in Business Administration and in Marketing Management), so the schedule is as follows:
- Exhibition/public hearing of the self-report: June 15 to 24, 2019.
- Meetings of CAI, Quality Commission and Permanent Commission for the approval of the final self-report: June 25 to 27, 2019.
- Delivery of the final version to GPAQ: June 28, 2019.
- Delivery of the self-report to AQU: July 2, 2019.
- Scheduled date for the AQU external visit to the centre: November 14 and 15, 2020.
