The results are really good in all indicators. However, we decided to take some actions in order to improve our degree courses:

  1. To encourage the role of the Committees on Teaching of the Faculty in teaching coordination.
  2. To encourage the mobility of our students and the importance of improving their language skills (particularly in English) in order to ensure an appropriate participation in the European exchange and educational programmes.
  3. To support students participation in governing bodies of the Faculty.
  4. To encourage students to develop extra-curricular training in workshops, volunteer projects and international cooperation, university cultural activities, etc.

Once the results of performance indicators from the last two years have been assessed, the Committee for Quality Assurance, on a meeting held on 28 May 2014, has considered appropriate to create a group to analyse and propose actions in order to encourage students mobility considering internal and external factors resulting in increasing dropout rates and low levels of outgoing requests.
