Teaching quality | POLITICAL SCIENCE AND INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS

Ensuring quality is an essential process that involves everyone at the University, where each individual's progress contributes to the collective success. This fosters healthy collaboration, which is crucial for strengthening the University's social impact and fulfilling its role in society.

"QUALITY ASSURANCE"means:

defining quality policies in synergy with the University's strategic directions and defining reliable and robust procedures that enable governing bodies to effectively implement them;
implementing activities to ensure effectiveness and efficiency in all the University's internal processes, first and foremost in the service of the quality of education and research;
raising awareness among all University staff to ensure tasks are performed competently and efficiently, services are delivered effectively, and a record is maintained to monitor and evaluate outcomes.
