  1. Working groups agreed by CAPD
  2. Review and approval by CAPD
  3. Submission to departmental bodies (board or council) for their review and approval.
  •  Procedures in order to collect information from stakeholder groups for program management:
    1. Evolution indicators from PowerBI and Prisma systems.
    2. Surveys: Internal from our PhD Program, from the University, from GPAQ, and from the Library Service.

Quality

The Validation, Monitoring, Modification and Accreditation Framework (VSMA Framework) for official degrees ties the quality assurance processes (validation, monitoring, modification and accreditation) carried out over the lifetime of a course to two objectives—the goal of establishing coherent links between these processes, and that of achieving greater efficiency in their management—all with the overarching aim of improving programmes.

The Validation (“Memòria de Verificació"), Monitoring (“Informe de Seguiment") and Accreditation (“Informe d'Acreditació") official documents are published at the Quality folder at: https://doctorat.upc.edu/en/programmes/network-engineering?set_language=en

The documents include the Enhancement Plans (“Plans de Millora”) of the Doctoral Programme.

Procedure for reports and documentation from the PhD Programme

Documents generated internally, usually by ad-hoc working groups or commissions, are approved in 2 steps, according to the regulations from each board or commission:

  • The Academic Commission of the Doctorate Program (CAPD).
  • The "Junta" or "Consell" boards of the Department.
