Quality
In line with the requirements of ENQA (European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education) and the "Regulation on the accreditation of doctoral schools and courses and criteria for the establishment of doctoral courses by accredited bodies" (DM 226/2021), the AVA 3 periodic accreditation model envisages the extension of the accreditation requirements to PhDs.
The Quality Presidium, in its meeting of 17/07/2023, approved and proposed a QA system aimed at fully including PhD courses in the virtuous cycle of planning - design - implementation - improvement, identifying roles, responsibilities, activities and processes that contribute to the achievement of specific objectives.
The Pathway to Quality, presented during the Didactics Quality Day on 25 March 2025. The video, made by the students of COMlab UniPa coordinated by Prof. Dario Mangano and Prof. Ilaria Ventura Bordenca, aims to ensure an effective and widespread dissemination among students of the topics discussed and promote full awareness of the university's periodic accreditation process.
