The Agency has renewed the guidelines for the accreditation renewal and follow-up of Bachelor's and Master's degree programmes. The new guidelines include the legislative changes established in Royal Decree 822/2021, of 28 September, which establishes the organisation of university education and the procedure for the assurance of its quality.

AQUIB thus replaces its previous guidelines in order to include the new standards and guidelines governing quality assurance in the European Higher Education Area. These new guidelines seek to guide universities in the process of renewal of accreditation and follow-up of Bachelor's and Master's degree programmes and give guidance on these processes. All documents are available in the sections of "Accreditation renewal" and "Follow-up" of our website.

The constitutive meeting of AQUIB’s Criteria Commission, created by the AQUIB Board of Directors on 26 May 2023, was held on 14th September. The main objective of the Commission is to analyse, review and approve the evaluation criteria and guidelines for the different AQUIB programmes.

At this constitutive meeting, the Commission Regulations were adopted and its chairperson was appointed. Furthermore, documentation related with the assessment processes of the official study programmes of the University were reviewed.

We thank ANECA for its hospitality and collaboration in this meeting, which took place at its headquarters in Madrid.
