Quality and Accreditations
Internal Quality Assurance System
The guarantee of quality given by EAE’s Internal Quality Assurance System (IQAS) forms a key part of our School’s commitment to social responsibility, fully aware of the context of globalization of the employment and university markets in which we operate.
Against this backdrop, through the IQAS, EAE strives to establish a governance model that reliably responds to the challenge of achieving accountability, transparency and uncompromising, rigorous quality.
The essence of our mission involves formulating our own unique way of serving the students, which we achieve not only through the set of services and commitments that we enter into with them, but also and most importantly by developing a mindset focused on quality and continuous improvement as an institutional pledge based on a commitment to transparency throughout the public service that we provide.
The EAE University Centre is an educational institution specializing in tuition programs that lead to different official and institutional Master qualifications, and official Bachelor Degrees, in the field of business administration and management.
The Quality Policy and Objectives of the EAE Barcelona University Centre are set by the Management Board with a firm commitment to ensuring quality, continuous improvement and accountability to stakeholders.
This commitment to quality requires constant improvement in all the School’s areas of activity, taking into account the demands of the learning community and the evolving training needs of the society of which it forms part, in order to contribute towards its progress and wellbeing.
Based on the Quality Policy, EAE has implemented an entire Internal Quality Assurance System, with the following objectives:
· Providing education designed to achieve excellence and guarantee a range of tuition programs aligned with the needs and expectations of the learning community and society in general.
· Promoting awareness, understanding and dissemination of the Quality Policy among all the stakeholders.
· Achieving a commitment to continuous improvement, proposing and executing the actions required.
· Ensuring that the Internal Quality Assurance System is regularly reviewed and updated.
· In short, the EAE Barcelona University Centre committed to ensuring that all its administrative management bodies, lecturers and administration and services staff are involved in attaining full quality as a shared goal that leads to achieving excellence in the course of providing its educational services.
