The functioning of the University Quality Assurance (QA) system regarding the teaching of Degree Programmes (CdS) is described on the dedicated Quality Assurance page of the University of Milano-Bicocca website.

At the departmental level, a central role is played by the Joint Faculty-Student Committee (CPDS), which monitors the educational offer and the quality of teaching. Annually, it drafts a detailed Report for each Degree Programme, which is forwarded to all stakeholders within their respective areas of competence (see Guidelines for the functioning of Joint Faculty-Student Committees - CPDS).

Other key actors in the QA system for teaching within the Department include:

• The Departmental QA Coordinator for Teaching (Prof.ssa Eleonora Farina), who acts as a liaison between the Quality Assurance Board (PQA) – Teaching Branch and other departmental bodies or committees, assisting them in fulfilling their roles in quality management for teaching;
• The Quality Assurance Management Groups (GAQ) of each Degree Programme, which include two or more professors from the programme (including the faculty member responsible for monitoring and QA), at least one student representative, and at least one administrative support staff member. Their duties are to:
  • Annually draft the SUA-CdS (Annual Single Form for Degree Programmes) and the SMA (Annual Monitoring Form);
  • Prepare the RRC (Cyclical Review Report) and monitor the achievement of the specified objectives;
  • Monitor student career progression, their opinions on educational activities, their satisfaction upon graduation, and the employment status of graduates, also through the analysis of external databases;
  • Verify the consistency between the proposed educational activities and job market demands, also by involving external stakeholders through periodic meetings with representatives from the world of work;
  • Acquire and analyze the Reports of the CPDS;
  • Analyze the Annual Report of the NdV (University Evaluation Board);
  • Prepare the self-assessment form for the Degree Programme during periodic accreditation and prior to the NdV hearing.
