The ACSUG is carrying on a continuous improvement process and cyclical evaluation of the fulfilment regarding the “Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the European Higher Education Area” (ESG). As a result, after 5 years since the last ENQA external evaluation, a new international evaluation process is being developed.
In this case, the decision has been to conduct a Targeted Review, the main objective of which is to provide agencies that have successfully undergone at least two complete ESG reviews (ACSUG has carried out 3), an alternative way to evaluate their compliance with ESG criteria.
ACSUG carried out the self-assessment stage, with the issuing of a summary report, which is the result of a process divided into several phases and involving ACSUG staff as well as members of the agency's various bodies.
The self- assessment report (SAR) is included below:
Following with the process, from 19 to 21 March 2024, the ENQA review team, responsible of the ACSUG external evaluation, visited the agency headquarters to analyse in situ the fulfilment of the European Standards and Guidelines by ACSUG. The review team met with representatives of all the Galician University System stakeholders: ACSUG staff, members of all the agency's bodies, representatives of the Galician Government, representatives of the Galician Universities, external experts, students, employers and external working groups.
After the visit, the review team issued its final report. This report was analysed by the ENQA Board in its meeting of 6 February 2025, reconfirming ACSUG as an ENQA member for 5 more years. During the 2025 ENQA General Assembly held in Paphos (Cyprus), the board decision was ratified by all organization members
