Since its inception, Blanquerna-URL has demonstrated its commitment to ensuring the quality and excellence of the studies it imparts.
The new European and national legislative framework, through the LOU, establishes that universities must ensure that their actions meet the objectives associated with the courses they teach and pursue their continuous improvement. As a result, these centers must implement policies, formally established and publicly disseminated, that guarantee internal quality.
To this end, the Schools have developed the Internal Quality Assurance System, assessed within the framework of the AUDIT program and with a favorable rating by the Agency for the Quality of the University System of Catalonia (AQU Catalunya).

Quality
To establish policies and strategies for improving the quality and academic, teaching and research innovation, as well as administrative and student support services, and implement effective internal quality assurance systems that will subsequently be subject to assessment and audit by the corresponding assessment agencies. To consolidate internal control and assessment systems and create the necessary conditions for accreditation.
The VSMA framework for official degrees connects these quality assessment processes that take place throughout the life of the degrees, in order to establish coherent bonds between them and promote incrased efficiency in its management.
Performance of their teaching activity is an essential element in assessing how the quality of the faculty is guaranteed. Thus, learning the method used by the faculty to plan, develop, assess, and improve their teaching is key to determining their teaching competence.
The Strategic Framework 2021-2026 defines the objectives of the institution, specifies the actions to be implemented in line with its mission, vision and values, and is based on fundamental pillars according to which objectives and strategic areas are developed. At the same time, each school has its own strategic plan that describe the actions defined in the general strategic framework.
The role of the quality technical units of each school is to guide, lead and supervise the fulfillment of the general objectives of the Internal Quality Assurance System. They ensure the fulfillment of policies, strategies and action plans aimed at the quality and excellence of their degrees and teaching, research and management activities.
