Verification
Royal Decree 822/2021, 28 September, on the organisation of university education and the procedure for its quality assurance, includes an educational approach focused on the student body skills in the new structure of university studies.
This new Royal Decree aims to strengthen trust within the university community and general society, with regard to procedures provided to ensure quality in all the academic offer of the university system, both in public and private scopes. In other words, society must be sure that all the university official Bachelor, Master and Doctorate degrees in Spain are quality assured.
In order to implement a new degree, the University must remit a project report of the degree to the Council of Universities, body responsible for verification, through the electronic site. To issue the verification resolution, the Council of Universities requests a review report to the AAC, the competent quality assurance Agency at the Andalusian Community.
Whether the verification of the study plan proposal is favourable, this is remitted to the autonomous communities, which will make a favourable or unfavourable decision on its authorisation. If it is positive, the degree will be registered in the Register for Universities, Centres and Degrees (RUCT) , Ministry for Education.
