The Quality Assurance (QA) system of the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano is developed in accordance with the Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the European Higher Education Area (ESG) and with the national model defined by ANVUR within the framework of the AVA system.

The Quality Committee and the Evaluation Committee are the central bodies of the University’s QA system.
The Quality Committee, as an internal body, coordinates and monitors Quality Assurance processes, defines tools and procedures, and supports academic and administrative structures in their implementation.
The Evaluation Committee, as an independent body, verifies the effectiveness of the QA system and serves as the institutional interlocutor with the Ministry of University and Research (MUR) and ANVUR.

Quality Assurance is understood as a systemic and participatory process involving the entire university community—students, academic staff, and technical-administrative staff—as well as representatives of the local community and the working world. The system is oriented toward the continuous improvement of teaching, research, and third mission/societal impact activities, in accordance with the principles of transparency, accountability, and shared responsibility.

Within the University’s intranet, there is a dedicated section on Quality Assurance which, on the information site “Quality Assurance”, collects information on QA tools as well as an archive containing all previous documentation. Access to the archive is restricted, via a unibz account, to those involved in QA processes.
