Quality

The Higher Polytechnic School of Engineering has Institutional Accreditation granted by the Council of Universities, a body dependent on the Ministry with responsibility for universities (Resolution of 28 January 2019), in accordance with Royal Decree 420/2015 of 29 May and the Resolution of the General Secretariat of Universities of 7 March 2018. This accreditation is valid for 5 years from the time it is granted.

The figure of institutional accreditation opens up a new scenario, in which the Quality Report of each centre must constitute the document that includes the monitoring of the degrees and the Quality Assurance System (QAS) itself. Thus, from the 2016-17 academic year, the Higher Polytechnic School of Engineering analyses the development, results and improvement plans of its degrees as well as the functioning of its Quality Assurance System, taking into account its strategic planning and objectives, within the framework of the institution's planning.
