Preliminary report from the external evaluation committee



In last days, an external evaluation committee has met representatives of the different groups involved in the Master in Economics: students, alumni, teachers, responsible for the master, administrative and service staff and university officials.

They have also studied the different indicators of the programme. This phase has been completed by an oral report by the President of the Evaluation Committee. It should be noted that this first report is neither definitive nor binding but the President has said she will recommend to the Andalusian Evaluation Agency the renewal of this postgraduate degree.

The President congratulated the University of Granada for the quality of the two masters under evaluation, highlighting permanency of teachers and their research-oriented profiles. She has qualified staff, teaching content and programme’s organization as belonging to the "first category".

The committee has very much appreciated the participation of professors from prestigious universities and the organization of seminars with professionals to meet students’ demand to bring postgraduate programmes closer to employment. The committee also considered very satisfactory the implementation of double masters. He has suggested the possibility to introduce some grading subjects to address the heterogeneity of student profiles. Finally, she stressed the high placement rate of the master. Since representative surveys of alumni were not available until now, the exact placement rate was unknown. Alumni have informed that most of their peers have successfully find an interesting position wither in public or private institutions, positions that are in harmony with their qualifications. This is excellent news!

This process has demonstrated that the participation of all groups in the program is the key-factor to improve.

Behalf the academic committee of the master, we want to thank all the persons who took part of the process and in particular the ones who have participated in the meetings.
