Quality Assurance

The Quality Assurance (QA) System is a set of activities implemented by the University to ensure and maintain high quality standards throughout its operations, in compliance with current regulations (Law No. 240/2010 and Legislative Decree No. 19/2012). These regulations introduced the system of initial and periodic accreditation of degree programs and university facilities, the periodic evaluation of quality, efficiency, and outcomes achieved by universities, and the strengthening of the system of self-assessment for the quality and effectiveness of teaching and research activities.

ANVUR (National Agency for the Evaluation of the University and Research System) defines the methodologies, criteria, parameters, and indicators for accreditation and periodic evaluation through the integrated AVA system (Self-Assessment, Periodic Evaluation, Accreditation), aiming to improve the quality of education and research.

Special attention is devoted to the monitoring of the quality of Teaching and Research.

The AVA system follows an inclusive approach involving the University, Departments, and Degree Programs. The process includes the University Quality Presidium (PQA), Department Quality Officers, Quality Management Groups, and Joint Student-Teacher Committees.

The Department implements its own QA system for Teaching, Research, and Third Mission activities through various committees, coordinating with the University Quality Presidium via the Department QA Delegate for the Science Area.

Department QA Delegate for the Science Area Presidium:
Prof. Maria Cristina Bonferoni

The Department Quality Assurance Group is composed of the Department QA Delegate and the Quality, Research, and Third Mission Committee.
