1 SELF REPORT FOR RENEWAL OF ACCREDITATION OF OFFICIAL BACHELOR S AND MASTER'S DEGREES
2 The present proposal has been drawn up to provide help when writing the self report, following the criteria and sub criteria that will be analysed in the renewal of accreditation process. Each sub criteria describes the standards through which universities must evidence compliance, and includes a brief description and appraisal thereof. In each sub criteria, universities must indicate, by means of a list, whatever evidence they deem pertinent. The full list of evidence must be set out in an annexed list, specifying where this may be consulted (ACSUCYL s document management system, university website, etc.). When drawing up the self report, universities are advised to refer to the Assessment Guide for the Renewal of Accreditation, which describes the criteria, sub criteria and standards, compliance with which the evaluators will be assessing. The Guide also details which possible evidence universities might submit in order to substantiate compliance. When devising this self report, the criteria and aspects evaluated in the follow up process conducted by the Agency have been taken into consideration, such that those responsible for writing it may find relevant information in the preliminary reports issued on the degree. Also included are aspects concerning which the institution must evaluate its implementation in previous years, since the self report should lead to a reflection on the degree s relevance, improvements and future viability. The self report should be no longer than 40 pages 1. 1 This refers to the self report itself, and does not include the tables of data and possible evidence annexed. Ed. 2. April

11 4. Programme results. An analysis has been carried out of the main data and results to emerge from the introduction of the degree as well as its performance. The results meet the expectations and nature of the degree Achieving the expected learning outcomes The institution ensures that the learning outcomes are public and comprehensible. Mechanisms are in place to determine whether students acquire the skills described in the verification report. Training and assessment are consistent with the expected learning outcomes. Procedures for assessing the courses provide a reliable appraisal of the intended learning outcomes and are public. The learning outcomes achieved by the students meet the objectives of the programme and the requirements of the degree qualification as specified in the Spanish Qualifications Framework for Higher Education (Spanish acronym MECES). Guidelines to gauge the expected learning outcomes: Amongst other evidence, this assessment will be based on a selection of final bachelor s and master s degree projects and assignments (Spanish acronym TFG/TFM), as well as internship reports (where these are a compulsory part of the degree). The following describes the guidelines which should be adopted when making the selection: 1. Together with the self report, the university will also provide a list of graduates from over the previous two academic years. At the very least, this list should contain: student, date of graduation, centre, type of study, final average mark and mark awarded for the TFG/TFM. 2. Prior to the visit, the Assessment Committee should select 12 academic records, covering a range of marks, corresponding to the main teaching modality used in the degree (onsite, semi onsite, ). 3. In addition, a number of academic records should be chosen from amongst the remaining possible modalities, respecting the proportion existing between the number of graduates in each modality and also taking into account the mark obtained. 4. Differentiating between the various marks obtained should take three groups into account: 5 6.9, 7 8.9, and over Once the selection has been made and the university has been notified, the examples of students work (TFG/TFM and, where applicable, internship reports) should be made available to the Committee through ACSUCYL s document management system. Ed. 2. April
12 Remarks: If the number of graduates over the last two academic years is below 30, a list should be provided of the last 30 graduates. If the transition course to the bachelor s degree has been taught, the guidelines described above should be followed, based on the specific list of graduates to have taken the course Performance of the degree indicators The performance of the degree s main data and indicators reflects the type of student enrolled, is consistent with the thematic area and context of the degree.
