Quality

At UPF Barcelona School of Management (UPF-BSM) we are committed to constantly improving the governance of our organization, our degree plan, our faculty and our training model. It is a commitment to excellence with the students who choose us and with all the stakeholders of the institution.

Also, the care for organizational culture and processes drives us to evolve towards more agile, flexible and fluid organizational models that allow us to transform and adapt quickly to change.

To guarantee this continuous improvement, a Quality Commission reviews and approves our self-evaluation and accreditation processes. This review ensures that the professional university education we provide is adequate and meets the expectations of the labor market and today's society.

• Analysing and monitoring the quality indicators for qualifications.
• Analysing and monitoring the quality indicators in the Balanced Scorecard.
• Reviewing and approving the monitoring reports for qualifications.
• Reviewing and approving the accreditation self-reports.
• Producing, reviewing and approving the quality policy and objectives.

Since June 2020, we are one of the 10 centers institutionally accredited by the Quality Agency of the University System of Catalonia (AQU). This institutional accreditation by AQU Catalunya means that we are accredited for all official university bachelor's and master's degrees for a renewable period of five years.

In 2021 we obtained AMBA accreditation, which places us between the leading management schools in the world, and makes us one of only six business schools in Spain with this accreditation.

The International Association of Masters in Business Administration (AMBAs & BGA) recognizes the academic quality and reputation of our EMBA and Master of Science in Management programs.
