STEERING
RECTORATE
UNIGE’s quality is ensured by the various stakeholders in the university community, that is to say each member, each group, each structure, and each leader, for the accomplishment of its mission, the achievement of its objectives, and the delivery of its services.
To implement the University’s quality policy the Rectorate employs a systematic procedure of prevention and evaluation. It has assigned responsibility for the “Quality” portfolio to the Secretary-General.
To implement the quality policy, the Secretary-General relies on two specific operational bodies: the Quality Assurance Office and the Steering committee for the internal control system and major institutional risks.
QUALITY ASSURANCE OFFICE
The Quality Assurance Office is charged with defining and ensuring the implementation of an institutional quality policy. In this context, it is responsible for developing the entirety of the evaluation process. The Quality Assurance Office works closely with the teaching and learning support office (‘PSEA’) in designing and implementing evaluations of programs and courses.
