University Quality Assurance Committee
Sapienza University relies on a Quality Team, called University Quality Assurance Committee, in order to ensure the Quality of its system. This Committee, regulated by specific Rules, was approved by the Academic Senate and the Board of Directors as per Art. 4, paragraph 7 of the Statute. The University Quality Assurance Committee members were appointed by Rector decree n. 3856/2019, and represent our two main macro-areas: education and administration.

Mission and organisation of the Quality Team
Sapienza has gained an important experience by starting in 2005 its own Quality Assurance System (AQ) for degree programmes, based on the information model of the National Council for the Evaluation of the University System, named PerCorso Qualità (PCQ), which requires planning and management of the courses aimed at improving their quality.
The University Quality Assurance Committee took office on May 13, 2013 and has set its strategic guidelines through a specific organisational model or network. To this end, some guidelines can be summarised as follows:
- stimulate the "decision-makers" (Rector, Director General, Academic Senate, Board of Directors) on the "Quality" issue;
- activate the "participants" (Deans, Department Directors, Programme Coordinators) on the substantial and non-formal aspects of Quality Assurance;
- achieve greater integration between different planning systems: Quality Assurance is part of the University's performance management;
- reinforce the network, by stimulating Faculties and Departments into overseeing the process of Quality Assurance, self-assessment, review and improvement of our Degree Programmes;
- support structures that work with the Quality Team through a growth path on Quality Assurance issues.
