About
The Study Programme Initial Accreditation or Verification is the ex-ante evaluation of a new degree.
Once the degree has been verified, modifications may be made to it, which may be "non-substantial", i.e. they do not entail a change in the nature, objectives and fundamental characteristics of the registered degree, or "substantial" in the opposite case.
Objective
The Study Programme Initial Accreditation ensures that the degree design complies with the requirements stipulated by current regulations, while the assessment of modifications ensures that the degree evolves while maintaining compliance with them.
Assessment
The study plan (design document presented by the universities) is evaluated by the CER (Evaluation Committees by field of knowledge & PhD) corresponding to the field of knowledge (area) to which the degree is assigned. The CER's report is then reviewed by the SET (Programmes Evaluation Committee), which is responsible for issuing evaluation reports.
Processing
Universities apply to the Council of Universities for the Study Programme Initial Accreditation and Substantial Modification of their degrees.
In the case of Non-substantial Modifications, in degrees implemented in non-institutionally accredited centres, before introducing the modifications in the report, ACPUA must be requested to approve them. If the "non-substantial modification" is made to a degree programme implemented in an institutionally accredited centre, it is not necessary to apply to ACPUA for approval.
