Quality Plan Introduction

As a result of our commitment to guaranteeing the quality of the degrees and services we offer, IESE participates in the Institutional Assessment and Verification Plan promoted by ANECA. As part of ANECA’s AUDIT program, the Internal Quality Control System (SGIC) was started up as a support tool for the design, implementation, monitoring and improvement of each IESE degree.

On July 13, 2010, we created the Quality Guarantee Committee (CGC) to monitor the school’s postgraduate programs. The CGC coordinates the tasks of planning and monitoring the SGIC. The Committee’s mission is to protect society’s interests regarding the quality of IESE’s educational programs and to study proposals for acquiring official undergraduate, master’s and doctorate degrees.

Our regulatory framework includes features that guarantee teaching quality and stipulates that the different assessment agencies should help guarantee the objectives of quality in the university. The SGIC was implemented under the VERIFICA Program, which evaluates curriculum proposals in accordance with the European Higher Education Area.
