The current framework of the  European Higher Education Area  and the changes introduced in official regulations stipulate that universities must guarantee, in their actions, compliance with the objectives associated with the programs they offer, and must also strive for continuous improvement. Therefore, universities must have   formally established and publicly available Quality Assurance Policies and Systems .

CEDEU  has an Internal Quality Assurance System  for its Degrees  ( SGIC ), designed in accordance with the AUDIT program, developed by the  National Agency for Quality Assessment and Accreditation (ANECA) .

The objective of  CEDEU  ‘s  Quality Assurance System (QAS)  is to guarantee the quality of all the official qualifications for which it is responsible, reviewing and improving its training programs whenever deemed necessary. These programs are based on the needs and expectations of its stakeholders, who will be kept promptly informed by maintaining the QAS itself permanently updated in order to:

• Responding to the  commitment to satisfy  the needs and expectations generated by society.
• To offer the  transparency  required within the framework of the  EHEA .
• Incorporate   continuous improvement strategies .
• Organize their  teaching initiatives  in a systematic way so that they contribute effectively to quality assurance.
• Facilitate the accreditation process   for implemented degrees.

The documents that make up  CEDEU  ‘s  Quality Assurance System  are basically a  Quality Manual and a Procedures Manual,  which have been developed based on the guidelines of the  AUDIT program  and including the sections required for the verification, monitoring and accreditation of Official Qualifications:

• Evaluation and  improvement of the quality  of teaching and teaching staff.
• Procedures for  analyzing the employment placement  of graduates and their satisfaction with the training received.
• Procedures to ensure the  quality of external internships  and mobility programs.
• Analysis of the  satisfaction  of the different groups involved ( students, academic and administrative and service staff, etc. )
• Attention  to compliments,  suggestions, complaints and claims .
• Procedures for the  extinction of a title .
• Dissemination of information on degrees. The  documentation  is available to the University Community at the following link:  Internal Quality Assurance System Manual

Information related to the characteristics of the authorized training program,  registration in the RUCT  and the  monitoring report , as well as the main results of the Qualification, can be found in the following links:

• Register of Universities, Centers and Degrees

The  renewal of accreditation  marks the culmination of the implementation process for  official Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees  registered in the Register of Universities, Centers and Degrees ( RUCT ). The renewal of accreditation for official Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees is organized into  three phases: self-assessment report, external visit, and final evaluation .

In the first phase, the university  describes and assesses  the  degree program ‘s status  against established criteria and guidelines. The result is the  Self-Assessment Report (SAR)  , which is then submitted. The second and third phases are carried out by a  group of evaluators  external to the program being assessed.

• Self-Assessment Report
• Open Hearing Form

The requirements for admission to these official Master’s programs, according to Article 16 of Royal Decree 1393/2007, modified by Royal Decree 861/2010, of July 2, are as follows:

1. To hold an official Spanish university degree or another degree issued by a higher education institution belonging to another State that is part of the European Higher Education Area and that qualifies the holder to access Master’s level studies in that State.
2. Graduates from educational systems outside the European Higher Education Area may be admitted without the need for official recognition of their degrees, provided the University verifies that their qualifications are equivalent to the corresponding official Spanish university degrees and that they qualify the holder for postgraduate studies in the country where the degree was awarded. Admission via this route will not, under any circumstances, imply official recognition of the applicant’s prior degree, nor its recognition for any purpose other than admission to the Master’s program.

The programme aims to develop professionals who can understand and manage international relationships in an interconnected world. Students learn to analyse global political and economic scenarios, design international strategies, negotiate in multicultural environments and support the international expansion of businesses and institutions. The programme also develops responsible leadership through its focus on ethics, sustainability and global governance.

Furthermore, the Master’s in Digital Business is of scientific interest due to the collaboration between digital professionals and university faculty, which can lead to the opening of new lines of research. It is also essential professional training for those interested in pursuing a career in the field of digital business.
